Original subtitles

In what capacity do you expect me to return to my children?

I've never even been a good mother to them.

Namfah, do you have a problem with Mr. Patthawee?

- No. - Why didn't you sit in the front seat?

I told you, I'm sleepy.

Are you mad at me for something?

I'm not mad.

"It's been two weeks since we became a couple.

Let's go on a date tonight."

Talking to Nubdao?

I'm taking her out for dinner tonight.

That's romantic. Enjoy your dinner.

This is my first relationship,

so I didn't know which dates I had to remember.

After she finished eating, she fell asleep,

so I went to use the restroom.

When I came out, she was gone.

Namfah told me

your friend is really sick?

What happened to your friend?

She was abused by her stepfather.

You said you came home to get something.

Did you get it already?

Yes, I got it.

Do I know the friend you've been taking care of?

No, you don't.

I guess I've never met this friend either.

Never.

Then it's not Ms. Yada?

NURSE

Pick it up. She might have gone missing again.

Yes?

Do you really believe your friend is sick?

Yeah, why?

Check the video I just sent you.

I've seen that nurse before.

Right outside your friend's condo unit.

Your friend hired a private nurse?

Yada is staying there, isn't she?

As soon as I said I was going to visit,

she rushed back home.

Whose house is this?

Which one do you think is Yada's house?

That one.

But on Yada's job application, the address is this house.

YADA PHAKAMAS

That's my mother…

and her new husband.

Don't go.

Are you just going to let him hurt your mother like that?

If you interfere,

it'll only make things worse.

Let go!

Let go of me!

Don't go!

Don't leave me!

You're annoying!

- You're-- - Please stop!

This is between a husband and wife. Who the hell are you?

Your wife is the mother of my friend.

You can't hurt her like this.

Did you have an affair?

You've got a kid? Since when?

Tell me the truth!

I never had an affair. I never had a child.

I swear.

Then why is this bastard running his mouth?

Yada is your daughter.

Yada who?

I don't know her.

The woman living in that house next door.

That woman? She lives alone.

She doesn't have any parents.

I'm not her mother.

So, you're saying you're not actually Yada's mother?

Of course not!

Please… don't leave me

Nubdao.

Why are you sitting out here? You'll get sick again.

Is something wrong?

I guess

Mr. Kim doesn't trust me anymore.

Why do you think that?

I gave him a chance to tell me the truth today,

but he still chose to lie.

About Ms. Yada?

So, you think…

the reason he didn't tell you the truth…

Because I was never worth trusting.

Don't blame yourself, Nubdao.

Come in.

How are you feeling? Any better?

A little better now.

You should be able to go back to work.

Are you sure you're up for it?

Even if I'm not, I have no choice. My leave is over.

Did you call your mom?

I just got off the phone with her.

How is she?

Is she still being abused?

Same as always.

It won't be the same anymore, Yada.

What do you mean?

What's this?

A key to a rental house.

A gift for you and your mom.

Why? Are you afraid Nubdao will find out?

But my mom won't come with me.

I called her today, but she refused.

- Want me to talk to her for you? - No, it's okay.

Why not?

You said if you had a choice, you'd take your mom away from that hellhole.

Or have you changed your mind?

No.

I'll try talking to her again.

Let me know when you're ready.

- I'll take you there. - That's not necessary.

I don't want to see you get hurt by your stepfather again.

It's painful.

You know that, right?

Yada.

Thank you…

for opening my eyes.

No problem.

I didn't want you and Nubdao to have a misunderstanding because of Yada.

What should I do now?

Right now, you need to explain everything to Nubdao first.

As for Yada…

Do you think

I'm as warm

as the summer sun?

I think you're more like the evening sun.

The sun that's about to set…

Doesn't that seem…

a bit lonely and sad?

But I see it as the last warm light

that embraces the little stars at night.

When the sun sets,

it's time for the stars to shine,

isn't it?

All of my time…

belongs to you alone.

Whether in happiness or sorrow,

the sunlight will always be near you,

giving you hope,

strength,

and warmth.

Always.

I admit…

it was all my fault,

Nubdao.

I'm returning all the time you gave me.

Don't waste it on someone unworthy like me.

Have some water, Mr. Kim.

I'll leave it here for you.

Mr. Kim must truly regret what he's done.

Nubdao.

Why don't you hear him out?

Maybe he has a reason.

Hello, Mr. Patthawee.

You're coming to work today, right?

Yes, I am.

I'll pick you up from your house then. It's on my way.

Oh, no need. I'll get there myself.

See you in an hour.

Yes, Mr. Patthawee?

There's heavy traffic. I might not make it in time to pick you up.

Oh, that's fine.

Alright.

You can't hurt her like this.

Did you have an affair? You have a child? Since when?

I never…

I never had an affair.

Come watch this with me.

I swear.

Then why is this bastard running his mouth?

Tell me!

I don't have a child!

Yada is your daughter.

Yada who?

I don't know her.

The woman living in that house next door.

That woman? She lives alone.

She doesn't have any parents.

I don't see anything interesting here.

Why did you do this to me?

Do you believe me now, Kim?

No one understands you better than I do.

Yes, Mom?

What else should I do?

Just a little tired, but hearing your voice makes it better.

What happened to you?

Kim, I'm scared…

Kim…

Help me…

No woman…

deserves to be treated like this.

You knew I couldn't stand it, so you made everything up to fool me?

You're crazy.

Yes, I am.

Because I love you.

Can't we go back to the way we were, Kim?

Hey…

- Hey… - Please stop,

Ms. Yada.

You're the one who should stop.

Yada!

You should never use someone's weakness

against them for your own amusement.

Kim…

I'm sorry.

I only did it

because I wanted you to care about me.

To feel for me.

To love me like before.

Let me go.

I hope

you finally learn how to let go of your past.

Thank you…

for coming with me today.

Love, for me,

is trust.

If we don't trust each other, how can we move forward?

It's not that I didn't trust you.

I just wanted to protect a woman's dignity, that's all.

I thought Yada was being abused, just like my mother was.

I was too young back then.

I couldn't help my mother at all.

I just didn't want any woman to suffer the same way she did.

But I never thought

Yada would use my past against me.

I was a fool.

A fool who clung to the past so much

that I almost lost you.

If I were you,

I would have done the same thing.

Does it hurt?

Namfah,

what time do you get off work?

Three in the afternoon.

That's when I finish too. Do you want to go home together?

I have to go…

Where? I'll take you.

I need to buy offerings.

Offerings?

It's my birthday.

Namfah's birthday?

ARAN JIRACHAWALAI

Ratree…

It's been 24 years,

and I still believe Mr. Aran was murdered.

And you, Ms. Sasi?

ARAN JIRACHAWALAI - BORN: MARCH 10, 1957 DIED: DECEMBER 25, 1996

At first, I thought the same thing.

But after finding Aran's life will,

I believed he had taken his own life.

Yet, in my heart, I was always confused.

Because Aran always told me he would marry me.

So, why did he leave me…

And your child,

right?

Mr. Aran, what are you doing?

My wife has morning sickness.

She's been craving santol in syrup.

Congratulations!

Do you want a boy or a girl?

A boy.

Do you have any proof that Aran was murdered?

Mr. Aran left me this.

It's all I have. I don't have any other evidence.

Do you recognize these numbers?

Your birthday is in two days.

Why buy everything so early?

I'm working a double shift tomorrow.

I won't have time.

And… can I join you for your birthday merit-making?

Of course! The more, the better.

I'll ask Nubdao to invite Mr. Kimhan too. Wouldn't that be nice?

That sounds perfect.

It was so close, Father.

So close to what?

To losing my heart.

Mr. Wee,

could you go ahead first?

I need to buy something.

What is it? I'll get it for you.

Um… It's a…

A personal item for women.

This is Namfah's cutting board.

Why was it under her pillow?

It's from the Mystery Chef.

Who's that?

He's Namfah's idol.

See? He even signed it here.

She's only seen his hands, and she's obsessed with him.

So, she's never seen his face?

She did try to meet him once, but before she could see his face,

she fainted.

What's his name?

Three-three-M?

What kind of signature is this?

Patthawee?!

Yes?

No way, right?

No…

Yes…

Can you two not tell Namfah just yet?

Why not?

I want to tell her myself on her birthday.

You're sure you'll tell her, right?

Yes, I will.

It's going to be the best birthday gift for her.

But if Dad finds out, you know

what's going to happen, right?

I'll only tell Namfah.

9-3-2-1-4-2…

It's not a safe code,

not a house number,

not an ID number.

It's nothing I recognize.

I can't figure it out, Ratree.

It's okay. Take your time.

I just can't make sense of it.

Ms. Sasi,

did Mr. Aran ever leave notes

or letters for you?

He never liked writing to me.

But he used to record tapes for me.

Today is the first day I'm recording for you.

From now on, I'll keep recording everything I feel for you here.

It's been over 20 years. Those tapes probably don't work anymore.

They do. I converted all the recordings to digital files.

What did Mr. Aran record on them?

Mostly songs.

But on special occasions, he left messages for me.

But I never dared

to listen to the last tape.

Why not?

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it.

Who's back so early?

You're home, sweetheart.

- Yes, Mom. - Have you eaten?

I have.

Mom…

I want you to ask yourself honestly.

If you truly like Nubdao,

you have to fight for your own heart.

I think I know my own heart now, Mom.

Do I know her?

Yes.

But I'm not sure… if she finds out something about me,

how she will feel about it.

And what secret are you keeping from her?

Secrets are heavy, son.

The longer you keep them,

the more they weigh you down.

I believe

Namfah will listen to your reasons.

Yes, Mom.

Who's back so early?

You should go now, Ratree.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you looking for this?

Yes.

Here.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Today is the first day I'm recording for you.

From now on, I'll keep recording everything I feel for you here.

This folder…

I never dared to listen to it.

But today…

I'm ready, Aran.

4 p.m.?

How long have you been here?

I'm sorry.

I was tidying up upstairs and didn't hear you come in.

It's fine. I just got home too.

You must be tired. I'll go make you a cold drink.

Only one lucky winner

will get to meet

the Mystery Chef.

Send in your names.

SUPAPORN THONGSRI

SUTHASINEE SANNGAM

BENJAMAPORN PANPONG

NAMFAH PATEEPKAMOL

NAMFAH PATEEPKAMOL

Are you sure you don't want to come to the party with me?

Yes.

You know I don't enjoy social events.

Alright then.

After work, I'll head straight to the party.

Alright.

Yeah?

I'm heading out now.

2-4-2-1-3-9…

3-9?

4-2-1-2-9…

2-1-1-2-3-9.

I found it, Ratree. The numbers Aran gave you.

It's this folder, 241239.

It's the one I haven't listened to yet.

Try reading the numbers backward.

9-3-2-1-4-2…

Yes.

What did Mr. Aran record in this folder?

I haven't listened to it yet.

NO FILE

Where did the file go?

It was here yesterday.

Mr. Wee!

Mr. Wee!

I won! I got selected to meet the Mystery Chef!

Congratulations, Namfah. Where and when do you have to meet him?

Tomorrow at the studio. They'll send me the location later.

Alright.

Here, this is for you.

Thank you.

Sasi.

There must be some kind of clue hidden in the file.

Are you sure it's really him?

Who else could it be?

Did you forget what day tomorrow is?

- What day? - It's Namfah's birthday.

It's almost time for the meeting. What if he doesn't show up?

I think this will be a really special birthday present

for you this year.

I want him to flirt with me.

Like, actually flirt with me, Nubdao!

Flamingo flower?

If I'm going to give her something, it has to be memorable.

- Whose picture is this? - Do you know anyone in this picture?

No, I don't know any of them.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Then I'll ask Aunt Ratree myself.

Your mother is still alive.
