Two days after visiting the sorcerer Aghori Bhadrakal, today was Sunday.
At 8:00 AM, Ivan, his mother Myra, and his father Ishan were having breakfast at the dining table.
(Among Ishan, Vikas, and Arya, Ishan was the most frightened of the three.)
While eating breakfast, no one spoke a word; all three quietly ate their food.
Then Ivan asked his father, "Dad, do you know Amardeep?"
Hearing this question from Ivan, Ishan was quite shocked. He had not expected such a question from Ivan.
Ishan looked at Ivan's face for a few moments and then replied, "No, I didn't know him at all."
After this, Ivan asked a second question, "Why do both of you think my face looks like Amardeep's?"
Myra said to Ivan, "What is wrong with you? Why are you asking such questions?"
Ivan replied, "Lately, only Twinkle's words come to my mind. How can it be that he looked like me? I just keep thinking about this."
Hearing Ivan's words, Myra said, "Ivan son, do not think like this at all! Many people in the world have similar faces; this is just a coincidence. You are not Amardeep, you are just my son. Do not terrify yourself by thinking about that dead person again and again."
Hearing his mother's reply, Ivan asked her, "Mom, do you think Amardeep is dead?"
Myra replied, "Yes, it is possible that if that boy Amardeep has not been found by his family even after 10 years, he might be dead. But do not think too much about him."
His father Ishan did not say anything; he was just quietly listening to the conversation between mother and son.
After finishing his meal, Ivan went towards his room.
And after reaching his room, he sat down in his desk chair.
He thought to himself, Perhaps my entire body looking like Amardeep could just be a coincidence. I do not believe in any ghosts, spirits, or black magic.
And the biggest thing is, who stole Amardeep's corpse? What did they steal it for? Who and why would anyone want to steal a dead person's corpse?
Did he want to take the responsibility of Amardeep's death upon himself? Who could it be? Could it be a fool or a very big manipulator? And how on earth can I reach him?
And so many incidents have happened, then why hasn't the police found out about them yet?
Now finding the thief is like an impossibility.
After thinking for a little while longer, Ivan said to himself, "No, not completely impossible."
And just then, his girlfriend Zoya's phone call came.
Ivan received the call and said, "Hello."
From the other side, Zoya said, "Ivan, today is Sunday. Let's go somewhere to hang out today."
Ivan asked, "Where would you like to go?"
Zoya said, "Wherever you want to take me, I will go there. I just want to go out to spend time with you."
Hearing such sweet words from Zoya always made Ivan convinced that Zoya loved him very truly.
Ivan took her to the mountains to hang out.
At 12:30 PM, Ishan had called Vikas and Arya to his shopping mall.
Ishan's business was not limited to just this one shopping mall; he had multiple shopping malls in different places, and he was also the owner of a large apartment building in the city, which contained dozens of luxury flats.
But beneath the shadow of this immense wealth and fame was also the truth that his own son Ivan's entire body looked like Amardeep.
Ivan was Ishan's only son.
He had called those two to Ishan's own office above the shopping mall to discuss how to catch three people for a sacrifice.
Vikas Mehra lived in the city and handled his import-export business.
He had a son and a daughter, but at home, he lived only with his wife Maya and daughter Tara.
His son Kian was studying MBBS outside his home and city.
And Arya Malhotra was the branch head of the main and busiest bank branch of the city.
He lived at his home with his wife Liza, his elder daughter Riya, and his two sons Rahul and Samar, all together in his house.
Ishan was already present in his office built above the shopping mall and was waiting for both of them.
In a short while, Vikas and Arya also reached there.
In the middle of the conference room was a large round table, surrounded by three leather chairs.
Ishan was sitting in the main chair, and deep worry was clearly visible on his face.
Vikas Mehra sat on his left side, and Arya Malhotra sat on his right side.
After all three of them sat down, no one spoke for a full 3 minutes; they just looked at each other's faces.
Then Vikas broke the silence and said, "Did both of you find out about any person whose disappearance would not even have a police complaint?"
Ishan replied, "We need three people for the sacrifice, and this is not easy at all. We have to choose such people whose disappearance does not matter to anyone and there is no police complaint either."
"Beggars will be right in this regard, because no one will know anything if a beggar disappears."
Vikas agreed and said, "This is the best and right way."
After this Arya said, "I know about a 9-10 year old boy. He is a beggar who has no parents or family, and he lives alone."
Ishan asked, "Where does he stay?"
Arya replied, "He sits near the steps of an old temple in the city all day, and at night he goes and sleeps in a corner of the old parking lot behind the bus stand."
"No one comes and goes there at night, so it will be very easy for us to take him from there."
After this Vikas asked, "Where will we bring the other two people from?"
Arya smiled slightly, as if some big secret had fallen into his hands, and spoke quite comfortably, without any fear.
"Leave the worry of the other two children to me. I will not have any trouble finding two more such children."
"One boy spends his night on the platform of a nearby railway station, who has no one ahead or behind in the world; and the second child begs at the signal near the main square of the city, who has no fixed address."
"We will easily pick up both of them in the dead of night like this; no one will even get a whiff of it."
Hearing Arya's words, both Vikas and Ishan became happy in their minds, although all three of them knew very well what they were going to do.
After this Arya said to Ishan, "Before doing all this, Ishan, you should get a DNA test of your son Ivan done and see the truth whether he is really your son or not."
Vikas also supported Arya's words and said to Ishan, "We have full faith in the sorcerer, but before that, a DNA test of Ivan must be done once."
Ishan said, "Yes, both of you are right; maybe he should be taken to the hospital tomorrow."
Then Ishan asked both of them, "Will both of you accompany me tomorrow?"
Arya and Vikas replied, "We will have to see if we get time tomorrow."
