My prediction for the back-story of the witch--Do add your own

All of you here, give free reign to your imagination:

• What do y'all think is the connection that Jeet and this Mysterious Half-mermaid share? Were they acquainted in a past life? Or does the Lady randomly take a fancy to him?

• Is she really enamoured with him or is it something more sinister, like a revenge?

My take: Anamika is neither a ghost nor a human. She's a practitioner of Black Magic, who has managed to attain near-immortality, or a zombie/vampire-like state whereby her body is trapped in time and her soul locked within and made to stay alive. And she was probably the wife of some wealthy businessman/Landlord, who was bored with life and had an affair with a younger employee of her husband. In due course of time, she falls in love with him, but her lover gets engaged to a different girl, who he gradually begins to lean on and gets attached to. This angers Anamika and she murders the other girl. She also begins to practice black magic to keep her young lover forever tied to her through lifetimes. Disgusted with himself and unable to recover from the sorrow of his girlfriend's death, her lover commits suicide. Meanwhile, her infidelity is discovered by her husband who leaves her. Shunned by society and made lonely by her paramour's death, she uses her Black Magic to keep her in a state of semi-death till the time her lover is reborn, following which she would begin to be restored. She'd be fully functional when he attains adulthood (or whatever age Jeet of is currently). She's here with a mission---to turn Jeet an immortal like her, and bind them together unto eternity.

They could show this for beginners, and then add spice to it by linking one of Jeet's family members to her, maybe his older brother can remember her as he was her husband in previous life.

Okies, have fun predicting!!
