Simon earns a living by working in a bookstore. The eldest daughter is married to the richest advocate in town. The second one was married to an elite police officer. The youngest one is quirky, smartest and also a renowned crime novelist. Most of her stories are based on true events. 

One fine morning, her eyes caught a group of people surrounding a corpse in her neighbourhood. Her instinct perceived the cause of death as natural. But as soon as the media, police officials and also forensic experts arrived at the spot within hours of death, she then came to know that it was a murder. Her heart was filled with curiosity. She then made her presence into the crime spot as a crime journalist.

The forensic experts explained the fingerprints found in the crime spot to the police officials. She was silently observing all the points that were being discussed by the forensic experts through the side window. Then the media left the spot as soon as the police official assembled for a media briefing. 

The moon slowly started showing up, a gentle breeze along the window and tiny stars sparkled in the sky, she heard some distorted conversations from the crime spot where she hid the mic that morning. The conversations were not that much clear. But she could able to figure out the voice of the highest ranked official. She was confused and shocked, a police officer's hand into murder ?? Elene was not able to sleep the whole night thinking of the cops involved in the murder and also the second man's voice, which was very much familiar but she was not able to recognise it. It was constantly running in her head. The next morning she came up with the solution to follow the police officer and get to know the truth by herself. She followed the officer and somehow sneaked into the officer's cabin. Collected some information about the deceased and left the room. While going through the data 's collected she came across one named Ibrahim Kareem. 

Her quest begins with the name Ibrahim Kareem. She ended at the starting point of the journey itself. That name has been ringing in her head even when she was having dinner with her dad. She uttered the name Ibrahim at the dining table and explained to herself the reason and how much that name struck her mind. And went to sleep with a heart full of disappointment on herself. 

The very next morning, as the birds were chirping, trees were hustling, and the beautiful sunrise, scratching her eyes, she woke up and saw a bedside breakfast set up with the name Ibrahim Kareem. She was shocked, rubbed her eyes many times then also noticed the same name on the breakfast plate. Beside her, Simon smiled at her and wished her "happy 25 eleny" into her ears. 

After this beautiful yet emotional moment. Simon started to speak even before Elene asked about the name card on the plate,  

  • "Hey Elene, I know you have so many questions in your head about the death that happened in our neighbourhood. You are trying to decode the person behind the name Ibrahim Kareem. I want you to know one important thing about my life. I promised myself that, I will reveal my true self once I turn 25. Simon is not my original name. I am an undercover RAW agent, who came here for one important operation that my agency assigned for me. Even your mom doesn't know about this. General Haafiz Moideen, the highest ranked police officer was the one who asked me to get information about one of the masterminds behind our nation's attack and the major cause of the silent war between countries. It took me 27 years to gather each and every move of Insukar al haq Raheem a.k.a. Peter. I was given the full authority to turn him down once I find about his upcoming plans. I did the same. I am Ibrahim Kareem the one name which had kept you sleepless for many days. I felt really pathetic when you were putting your heart and soul to find that one person who was behind the murder. As a trained officer I have lived up to my promise. 

"I love you and Sorry Elene"  

She has nothing to say. She told him only one thing, "Proud to be your daughter with a great salute" and uttered "I love you" with huge pride in her heart. 


Her story concluded with the statement, "The great Espiar!!"
