After one month this was the first time Rashi had chimed out to be jolly and had overcome the trauma of the accident. Her mother could sense that her daughter is back, talking over the phone, her chatterbox and full of life lady with strong aspiration has come back, but little did she know that Rashi had stepped on to an abyss of gloom.

"I'm happy to have you back like the way you had been before the accident", Trisha remarked. She said "Don't worry maa I've overcome that dreadful night cause I've now what I had been craving for", asserted Rashi.

Trisha was contented after their conversation.
The next day when Trisha called up Rashi she heard a guy's voice in the background, when she inquired her who was their in her house, Rashi circumvent her query and hung up the phone.

Trisha could sense that things aren't that conventional as they seem to be. She decided to pay a surprise visit at Rashi's place and clear out her doubt.

The next day itself Trisha and reached Rashi's place and found out Rashi cooking up meal for two people while she stays all by herself in an apartment in Mumbai, Trisha couldn't figure out who could be the person she had been cooking for at 8 o'clock at night. Without batting an eyelid she interrogated about the person she had been cooking for, the answer she got had sent a shudder of fear through her.

"Who else I’d be cooking for mom, of course it is for Vishal", asserted Rashi
Trisha couldn't believe her words and shouted out," Vishal is dead,now tell mewhom u have been calling at home during this hour of time?"

Rashi started trembling with rage and clamoured, "He is alive mom, how can you say anything as such about someone whom I love wholeheartedly, which is pretty clear to you, how can you..."

At that very moment doorbell rings and Rashi wipes off her tears and with a smile on her face remarked, "See for yourself, it's Vishal, he has come home after work".

As soon as she opens the door Trisha saw a stranger, Rashi hugged that person and kissed him on forehead and said " Welcome back, honey"

To which that person responded “Your Vish has come",
Trisha couldn't fathom what was going on, she had met Vishal before but this person who claims himself to be Vishal wasn't the same guy her daughter wanted to marry, she thought to herself that she needs to find out what has been going on. She went up to the door and shooed off that person and comforted her daughter and made her believe that the person she had been allowing at her place wasn't Vishal.

Things had turned up into total chaos so Trisha suggested out to Rashi to get some rest and they'll talk on the next day but Rashi filled with rage wanted to fight with her for why did she expelled her love in such a way.

She went up straight to Rashi's room and looked up for things which could give her some idea regarding Rashi's behaviour. All she could find was drugs and condoms. She couldn't believe herself for she what had just come across.

She hurriedly called up a psychiatrist and took an appointment for Rashi.
On the next day Rashi and her mother were at the psychiatrist's chamber, where Rashi had agreed to come because her mother had narrated a story of a girl who needed a psychiatrist back at their home town so she needs to consult someone over here in the city for that girl.
After a long session the doctor came up to Trisha with an answer for Rashi's problem, she had been suffering from Capgras syndrome where the person has a delusion of misidentification, they hold a believe that their beloved one's have been replaced by somebody else, the worst thing related to Rashi was yet to the reported out to Trisha.

The syndrome wasn't just the only problem, doctor figured out that after accident, in which she lost Vishal, Rashi started having drugs so that she could overcome the pain from losing whom she loved. Things got ugly when under the effect of drugs she had started imaging every other guy to be her beloved Vishal, and she had become a high profile escort, people visit her place at night and she had a delusion that that person is Vishal.

Trisha was left shattered after hearing about her daughter, she couldn't believe that her daughter despite being successful in her field of forte has fallen into the pit of the darkest part of the society.

The psychiatrist also divulged out that after few days of the accident Rashi met with her friend Rohit, he had come to consult regarding something to Rashi but she had treated him the way she use to treat Vishal and he couldn't stop her, cause despite knowing that she had been expressing her emotion and feelings for Vishal he couldn't stop himself from getting closer to her. That night she kept on calling Rohit as Vishal and had surrendered herself to him. After that night Rohit didn't want to continue like this with Rashi, he thought of taking advantage of this incident and hired a pimp to push her deeper into her delusional world. He strategized with a pimp how to send up a person and the code to be used was" Your Vishal has come ".

Every night some or the person use to visit Rashi's place and she used to call them inside with delusion that that person was Vishal.

Trisha was shattered after she came to know about her daughter's plight. The only thing she wanted was to get her out of this as soon as possible.

They both reached back home and Trisha narrated out each and every incident to Rashi and to her surprise , Rashi confessed out to her that she knew that she had been suffering from this syndrome but she wants to live under delusion cause the truth used to stung her and she couldn't bear it. She wanted to live with delusion that the person who rings the doorbell was her "Vishal", this was the only way she had found out to mitigate her agony.

Trisha slapped her and cried out in disbelieve that despite acknowledging everything, how can she not put a hold onto all of this.

Rashi implored "Do you want to see me alive or dead Maa?”, to which Trisha replied "I want my daughter who was all mine, to be back".

Rashi responded with "Let me be with my love, this is the only way out to live from now onwards, because this makes me feel that Vishal is with me ".

Trisha had to rest her keys in front of her daughter and she left Rashi's place wishing her good health and happiness.
