"Good thing you both are awake," said a voice interrupting their conversation, the duo turned at the doorstep. She might be the owner of this house, Preeta assumed. The kid clung onto Preeta getting somewhat uncomfortable by the stranger's presence near her. Preeta didn't even resist a bit. The owner of the voice was none other than the shape shifting serpent who was now in her humanly attire, none could say that she's a shape shifting serpent. "You? Is this your house? What am I doing here? What happened to me? And why is this girl calling me mumma?" Preeta asked holding her head, meanwhile the kid clung onto her.

"Preeta? She is your child, your daughter, your Pihu, your and Karan's daughter, Karan is your husband, remember?" she asked and Preeta's jaw dropped. "What? Husband? Am I married? She's my daughter? Uhh, I can't remember anything, and by the way, have I met you before? Who are you?" Preeta asked holding the kid named Pihu. "I am Bela, we both haven't met before, this kid Pihu only told me your name, don't worry, you will recall everything gradually, but, let's drop you both home," the shape shifting serpent, named Bela, said. "Yeah sure," Preeta said still confused.

"Pihu, dear, come down, let mumma also get down," Bela said but Pihu was adamant to leave Preeta, every stranger scared her right now. "It's okay Bela, let it be, poor baby is scared of something maybe and maybe she sees a mother in me, I understand," she said and held Pihu tightly and turned placing her feet on the floor wearing her slippers. She stood up picking Pihu in her arms, she felt a sense of love for this little girl who called her mumma yet she couldn't recognize her.
Bela began to walk out, Preeta followed her carrying Pihu all along. The trio exited the house, Bela unlocked the car and opened the door for the duo and waited as they settled. Preeta smiled at her and closed the door, Bela walked to the driving seat and sat inside, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car and drove off. The whole drive, Preeta kept hearing voices in her head.
