LOVE AND FORTUNE

LOVE AND FORTUNE

Watch out, Than!

Watch where you're going.

The road is for cars, you know.

Do you want to die?

Don't blame him, Than.

Your eyes were off the road.

Are you all right?

That's blood.

You're bleeding.

Does it hurt a lot?

Maybe he's mute, Ms. Wasee.

Can you hear me?

I'll take you to the doctor.

Come.

Let me take care of this.

Look at how shabby he looks.

He might be a mute beggar.

So what if he's a beggar?

He's a person just like us.

Let me take you to the doctor.

Why? Don't you want to go to the doctor?

Wait here for a moment then.

You almost got me in trouble. Couldn't you watch where you were going?

Why?

Please accept it. It's for my peace of mind.

But if you're still in pain,

you can come to me.

I'm at Rachasart Manor, at the end of the road.

Ms. Wasee, I think we should go home.

Lady Potchanit will be waiting for you.

I must go now.

Please get in.

Excuse me, is there someone named Manas here?

I'm Manas. What is it?

I'm looking for someone. I must have gotten it wrong.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Wasee.

My dear daughter.

I missed you so much.

Let me give you a hug.

I missed you so much too, Mother.

I haven't seen you in five years.

You seem to have lost so much weight.

I missed you so much.

That's why I couldn't eat.

Mother.

My dear daughter.

I haven't seen you in a long time either.

You've become so pretty, ma'am.

And you still look as healthy as ever, Saiyud

But I missed your cooking so much.

Shrimp salad with herbs, khanom rung rai, and beef massaman curry.

If you'd like to have shrimp salad,

don't go in the water with me anymore.

I can catch the shrimp for you.

Bua.

Mother, I bought gifts for you and everyone else.

This scarf is made from the finest silk.

It'll keep you warm when it's cold.

But when it's hot, it'll cool you down.

The color is pretty. I really love it.

Saiyud, there are plenty of snacks I bought in these bags.

Please give them to everyone for me.

Yes, ma'am.

Wasee, I hired a new servant for you.

Come closer.

My name is Pim, ma'am.

If you need anything, please let me know, ma'am.

Thank you, Pim.

I'm hosting a welcome party for you at our manor in two days.

I've told all the other manors.

Everyone wants to meet you.

That includes Lord Pas, your fiancé.

Is Pas back from France?

Yes, he is.

And Prince Pong and Lady Kulab brought you something this morning.

They also brought up the subject of marriage.

They said the two of you have been engaged for a long time.

Do we have to get married so soon, Mother?

Wasee, I'm getting old.

I don't know how much longer I will be around.

Let's talk about this later, Mother.

Let me go take a bath first.

Wasee.

Since your father passed away,

I have taken care of you on my own.

It's hard for a woman to live on her own.

If there's someone to take care of you,

I can rest easy.

Please marry Pas.

He's perfect in every way,

his looks, his wealth,

his career.

Trust me, Wasee.

Okay?

Thank you so much for letting me stay here, Venerable Father.

Not at all. Everyone is welcome at the temple.

But I won't bother you for long.

As soon as I find work, I'll find somewhere else to live.

Phra Nakhon is in hard times right now.

It's not easy to find work.

You must be patient.

Those are clothes and blankets that belong to temple boys.

Let me know if you need anything.

Mother.

I'm in Phra Nakhon now.

No matter how hard it might be,

I will find Father.

Did you have the same dream again, Long?

Yes.

I saw a lightning strike,

a fire,

and a boat capsizing.

But this time,

I saw a woman breastfeeding a baby.

It feels somewhat familiar.

Maybe it's your wife and baby.

You've been missing for over 20 years.

They probably think you're dead.

I've been trying to remember.

who I am and where I'm from.

So what was that I saw in my dream?

Why do I keep having the same dream?

Oh, gosh.

All right, Long.

Don't think about it. You'll get a headache again.

You will remember in time.

What did you do to deserve this?

How did you end up like this?

Hey, where are you going?

Mr. Prem, thank you for taking the trouble to help me with a job at the ministry.

But I'm not interested.

Excuse me.

Pas.

You can't do this.

Mr. Prem is my best friend.

He did you a favor by inviting you to apply for an open position there.

You can't be this rude.

I told you I don't want to work in the civil service.

What's wrong with working in the civil service?

That's right.

Civil service jobs are stable, Pas.

You will serve the King.

You will be respected.

You will be well regarded in society just like your father and I.

Isn't it outdated, the feudal system and nepotism?

People abroad did away with that.

To be accepted and respected.

One must be capable and successful on one's own terms.

Not just living off ancestors' good fortune.

Pas.

If that's what you think,

it's good that we won't be working together.

Please excuse me, Your Highness.

Pas.

Term.

Give me my car key. I'm going for a drive.

Where are you going, sir? I'll drive you there.

I want to go alone.

Yes, sir.

Do not go anywhere!

What happened? I just saw Mr. Prem storm out.

Pas refused to work with him.

He humiliated him.

I can't do what you think I should, Father.

Because I don't think you are right.

What's wrong with what I think?

You are living in the past, Father.

You can't even let go of your dead son.

You still think he's alive.

You've been looking for him for 23 years.

Are you still mad at me about this?

I stopped being mad at you a long time ago.

Pas, please calm down.

Your father did it out of love and good intentions for you.

He wants you to have a stable future.

I will work at the ministry.

But only on one condition.

You must stop looking for your dead son.

You can't do it, can you?

Then you can continue living in the past, Father.

But I think we should live for the future.

If we keep looking back to the past, when will we ever see the future?

That's why I will decide my own future.

I never thought that by now, Pas still wouldn't understand me.

Pas is mad at you because he loves you.

What did I do wrong, Kulab?

All my life, I have been willing to give him everything.

Why does a glimmer of hope that I wish to see my other son someday,

end up making Pas blind to see my love for him?

Why is it such a crime?

I know what I hope for might be ridiculous.

But as a father,

I really can't let it go.

Your Highness, please calm down.

I'll talk to Pas to make him understand you.

Please talk to him for me.

And tell him that I'll take him to apologize to Mr. Prem tomorrow.

My goodness, I feel so sorry for you.

You sent your son to study abroad.

Instead of coming back as an obedient child,

he's become even more stubborn.

It's none of your business.

Gosh, I only mean well, don't I?

I'm just worried about you.

But I understand Lord Pas as well.

Well, when people feel neglected,

once they have had enough,

they tend to do unexpected things.

I know my son.

Unless someone puts evil thoughts in his head,

he will never do anything bad.

How do you know?

Your son was away from you for 13 years.

Are you sure you know him well?

Keep an eye on Pas.

If he goes down the wrong path,

you can't blame anyone.

This is so satisfying, Ms. Euang.

Lord Pas is quite unruly.

Pas is like an undercurrent waiting to explode.

He will become a big wave

that destroys everything in its path.

If everything is destroyed, how is that good for us, ma'am?

You idiot.

If Pas causes trouble again,

Lady Kulab won't let her son out of her sight.

Then I'll get His Highness to sign his will over to me.

I see.

But His Highness once said

he won't make a will until he finds his missing son.

That is the thorn in my side.

If His Highness finds that child,

our secret will be revealed.

I don't think so, ma'am.

The baby was just born then.

How would he know we killed his mother and tried to kill him?

If you talk about it,

I'll kill you.

I'm sorry, Ms. Euang. I won't talk about it again.

I have a foul mouth.

-I have a... -Stop.

What I'm afraid of is that

Manas has told that child about what happened.

And if that child meets His Highness, he will tell him.

And when that day comes, both you and I will be done for.

What should we do, Ms. Euang?

I won't wait for that day to come.

After the welcome party for Wasee, Pas's fiancée,

I'll give His Highness more medicine.

Will His Highness be all right?

Song said before

that if you use too much medicine, His Highness might die.

How can he resist when he's about to die?

I'll get His Highness to sign the will over to me before he finds that child.

Manas.

I apologize, Your Highness.

For taking your son away from you.

It's all right, Manas. What's done is done.

Where is my son now?

Please tell me, Manas. I want to see my son.

Manas.

I...

...brought your son back to you, sir.

My son.

Son.

My son.

My son.

Son.

Don't go.

Son, don't go.

Did you have a nightmare?

I dreamed about Manas.

He brought my son back to me.

Did he?

Yes.

I was running to my son, but there was...

There was a fire that separated us.

Fire.

It could mean an obstacle that prevents you from meeting your son.

If it's true like you said, that means I'm about to meet my son.

But there must be some kind of obstacle that's in our way.

My health,

it's only getting worse.

When will the misfortunes of me and my son end?

I'm so afraid.

I'm afraid I won't be around to see my son.

Your Highness, please don't say that.

You will live and meet your son.

And you will live with me for a long time.

Your Highness.

You've been taking Euang's medicine for a long time now.

But you haven't gotten any better.

What would you say

if I were to give you a new medicine?

We can try that.

Anything that will make it possible for me to see my son again,

I'm willing to do it.

Of course.

Hey, kids. Come and help.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

Long, hurry up.

Go say goodbye to the Venerable Father and ask about your necklace.

-Okay. -Okay.

I'll go up first then.

The Abbot asked me to thank you for lending us things.

You're very welcome. We're all just helping each other out.

Well...

There is one more thing, Venerable Father.

Chai said you used to be a goldsmith in a manor.

I'd like to show you a picture.

What picture?

It's a picture of the necklace I often dream about.

I wonder what it is,

and where it comes from.

I've never seen this necklace before.

Venerable Father, are you sure?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Long.

I really can't help you.

I think there's a storm coming, Long.

We must hurry.

Let's go.

Ouch.

-Long! -Help!

-Long! -Help!

-My head hurts. -Somebody help! Hurry! Help!

Somebody help!

Long.

Long.

What's wrong with him?

Don't ask questions. Take him upstairs.

Get up, Long!

Ouch.

Have some tea.

Thank you.

When will you get better, Long?

Then you wouldn't suffer like this when there's a storm.

The rain is letting up.

Yes, it's stopped raining.

You rest here for now. I'll go check on the boat.

All right.

What's wrong with you?

Well, I lost my memory.

I've been trying to find out who I am.

But I get a headache every time I try to think about it.

Thank you for helping me. What's your name?

I'm Chok.

Chok

I'm Long.

So...

Do you know anything about yourself? Maybe I can help.

Right.

I have a picture that I drew myself.

What? Where is it?

I lost it.

What does it look like?

I'll help you find it.

It's a rolled-up piece of white paper tied with a brown string.

Okay.

You found it, Chok?

Yes.

But the drawing faded away because of the water.

It's okay. I can still remember it. I'll just draw another one.

Long, let's go.

It would be bad for you if there's another storm.

Okay.

Let's go.

I'll buy you some fruit when I have the chance to visit Phra Nakhon again

to pay you back for helping me today.

It's okay.

I'm just staying here temporarily. I'll leave soon.

That's a shame.

Let's hope we meet again someday, Chok.

Okay.

Where's Pas, Kulab?

Is he awake? I will take him to see Mr. Prem.

Pas has gone out.

How could he? I specifically told him.

Did you not tell him?

Yes, but...

But what?

You're spoiling him too much.

That's why he dares to disobey me.

I'll go find him myself.

Your Highness!

Are you going to look for Pas?

Please let me go with you.

Why would you go with him?

I know where he is.

Chan heard him talking to his friend on the phone this morning

about investing in a business.

They're meeting up at his friend's house in the market.

Then you're coming with me.

Let me go with you too.

No.

Since you can't teach our son, I will.

I will take Pas to apologize to Mr. Prem today no matter what.

Don't worry. I'll help teach Pas for you.

Sir, please hire me.

Please, I'm begging you.

Hey.

I told you I already have plenty of workers.

Go find work somewhere else.

But I've looked all over the market. No one wants to hire me.

Sir, I can do anything. Please hire me.

Okay, fine.

Help me carry all my rice sacks inside.

Sak, give him some rice sacks.

Yes, sir. Thank you so much.

Here.

Chan said

she heard Pas talking on the phone with Seri.

His father owns a gold shop in the market.

But there are many gold shops in the market, Your Highness.

Then we'll search every shop until we find Pas.

Yes, sir.

It's not this one. Where is another gold shop, Term?

I think there's one over there, sir.

Please follow me, sir.

We can import the medicine as soon as we get the license.

I think we can do it by ship.

Yes, that's probably best.

Okay.

Father.

Don't tell me your father is looking for you.

I think before you talk to me about investing with me,

you should ask your father's permission first.

You'll have to ask him for money to invest anyway.

This way, Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Please sit down and rest.

The gold shop is over there, right?

Yes, sir.

You go and look for Pas for me.

Yes, sir.

Chan isn't here, or I could ask her to buy me some water.

If you're going to be like this, don't come with me next time.

Your Highness.

How about I bring you some water?

Pas.

Pas.

Pas.

Pas.

Ouch.

Pas.

Young man.

Are you all right?

Pas.

Young man.

Oh, it's you.

We met before in Ayutthaya. Do you remember me?

Young man.

What are you looking for?

Young man.

Is this bag what you're looking for?

It must be very precious to you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you so much, sir.

What?

Aren't you mute?

No, sir.

I'm sorry for not telling you.

It's okay.

I'm sure you have your reasons.

By the way, what's your name?

My name is Chok, sir.

Chok.

Since we had the good fortune to meet again,

let me buy you a snack, Chok.

Wipe the blood off your wound, young man.

It's okay, sir. It must be expensive.

It's just a piece of cloth. Don't worry about it.

Here, let me help you.

Thank you so much, sir.

I apologize on behalf of my son for grazing against you with his car.

It's all right, sir.

I'm the one who wasn't careful.

How did you end up in Phra Nakhon?

I'm looking for my father.

What?

When we met in Ayutthaya,

didn't you tell me you lived there with your parents?

What happened that you had to come here to look for your father?

My mother passed away.

Before she passed,

she told me that I'm not really her son.

My real father is in Phra Nakhon.

That's why I'm here looking for him.

You and I have such a similar fate.

You're looking for your father, and I am...

looking for my son.

You told me earlier that

your son grazed against me with his car.

I have another long-lost son.

I've been looking for him since the day he went missing.

It's been 23 years now.

But there's no sign that I will ever meet him.

People around me think I'm not in my right mind

for believing that I will meet my son.

Some people think my son is dead.

And they told me to stop looking for him.

But for some reason, there's something

that makes me believe that he's still alive.

And that something

makes me truly believe

that I will meet him one day.

That's why I've never thought of giving up

even if no one understands me.

But at least,

I understand you, sir.

Hope, no matter how dim it is to others,

can give us the strength to go on.

I hope you will meet your son, sir.

There are so many people around me.

But no one understands me.

But someone I never knew before like you

can understand me

as if

we have known each other for a long time.

So, how did your son go missing, sir?

Term, if anything happens to His Highness, I'll teach you a lesson.

How can you blame me, ma'am?

You're the one who's supposed to be taking care of His Highness.

Are you blaming me?

I'm not blaming you. I'm just telling the truth.

And this is not the time for arguing.

If you're worried about His Highness, let's look for him together, ma'am.

There was a lot of commotion that night.

Two of my wives gave birth at the same time.

One gave birth to twins.

But unfortunately, one of the babies died.

As for my other wife,

the person I loved the most,

she gave birth to our son, but...

But what, sir?

But someone stole my son from me.

Who was it, sir?

The person who took my son was...

his uncle.

So why...

did he steal your son, sir?

That's what I want to know.

Why did he do such a thing?

I want to find him

so that I can find out the truth about what really happened that night.

Then maybe I'll get to see my son.

So, what's his name?

Maybe I can help you find him.

His name is...

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

What are you doing here, Your Highness?

My gosh, Mute!

He's not mute, Euang.

What are you thinking, Your Highness?

Why are you having snacks with that filthy workman? Go away!

Do you know how hard I looked for you?

Stop it, Euang.

You shouldn't act so lowly and look down on other people.

I can turn a blind eye to the way you treat people in the manor.

But he's an outsider.

He has nothing to do with us.

Don't ruin my reputation.

Your Highness!

Are you scolding me and taking his side?

Do you know

how hard it was for me to find you?

If you won't stop such lowly behavior,

I have nothing more to say to you.

I must go now, Chok.

Wait, Chok.

I pray that fate will finally lead you to your father, Chok

I also pray that you find the child you were looking for.

I must go now, sir.

Until we meet again.

Are you sure, Pas?

That you'll use the land your mother gave you to borrow from the bank?

Yes, so I can have the money to start a company with you two.

Why are you complicating things?

You're the heir of the Aphaphirom Manor.

Your father will give you money if you just ask.

No. I won't ask my father for help no matter what.

What makes you hate your father so much?

You know what?

All this time, my father has been looking for his missing son.

And I'm just the forgotten one.

Since he doesn't care about me, I'll just live my own life.

I'm going to show him that I can live without him.

I will never go back and beg him.

But your father has both money and power.

If you lower your pride just a little bit, it will help our business.

How can we make our society equal

if we are still part of the feudal system?

I'm going to show someone like my father that things have changed.

People of our generation can succeed on our own.

Without their help.

Okay, okay. I was just asking.

About the land, I can look at it for you.

I don't want to go home and argue with my father.

I'm going to a club.

Come with me.

Gosh.

Your clothes are so beautiful, ma'am.

You don't have to be so formal when it's just the two of us, Pim.

I'm not strict like my mother.

Yes, Ms. Wasee.

The necklaces and earrings are all so pretty too.

Wow.

Do you like them?

Of course.

If I wore these earrings to a temple fair,

the women in the village would be so jealous of me.

If you like them, you can have them. They're yours.

Really, Ms. Wasee?

Thank you.

Don't mention it. Let me put them on you.

They're beautiful.

Come on in.

Bua.

Ms. Wasee, Ms. Suphawadee is here to see you.

Pim, how could you wear Ms. Wasee's earrings?

Ms. Wasee gave them to me, Bua. Let go of me.

Really, Ms. Wasee?

Yes. I gave them to her.

Is Su here? I will go and see her.

Yes, ma'am.

Su.

Welcome back to Thailand, Wasee.

Have you lost weight?

Where's my souvenir from England?

Su, are you really an ambassador's daughter?

You don't even have a souvenir for me, and you're asking me for one?

We've been friends since we were kids. I don't have to follow formalities.

And even if I don't have a gift for you,

I'm sure plenty of men have brought you gifts.

You're overthinking, Su.

I just got back. No one has heard about it yet.

She's wearing your earrings.

-Ouch. -Give me that.

They belong to Wasee. Take them off.

-What is it? -Let go.

-Su. -Let go.

-Ouch. -Let go. Take them off.

-Don't. -Come here.

-Su. -Don't.

It's okay. I gave them to her.

Why did you give away such valuable things to a servant?

Why can't I wear them?

You'll be working in the kitchen anyway.

You too, Wasee. If you're too kind to your servants,

be careful or they will become your equals one day.

Pim, Bua, can you get me some snacks?

Of course.

You're overthinking, Su.

Pim never had anything nice.

I'm just sharing what I have.

Do whatever you want.

But I came here today because I need to talk to you about something important.

What is it, Su?

It's about Lord Pas, your fiancé.

She keeps calling me a servant.

Just wait and see. Once I have a royal husband,

I'll make you bow down and beg for my forgiveness.

Gosh.

Why did you throw water on me, Bua?

I'm trying to wash wicked thoughts out of your head, Pim.

If there's ever a time when Su bows to you, it will be the day you die.

And she's only there to pay her respects at your coffin.

You never know.

Because my luck might be better than you could ever imagine.

My gosh.

You're a toad that doesn't know its place.

No master would make someone like you their wife.

Stop daydreaming.

I worked for you, so I must be paid.

You asked for work, so I gave it to you.

I never said I'd pay you.

Are you trying to cheat me? I must be paid for my work.

I won't pay you.

Hey, you two, throw him out of my shop.

And if he won't stop being stubborn, just deal with him.

Hold him down.

Sir, please have mercy.

-Get him out of here! -Let's go.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Go away!

You want your pay, right?

Here, take it!

Remember, I never cheat.

You're not from around here, are you?

That's why you didn't know Heng likes to exploit his workers.

Are you mute?

How pitiful.

You're mute and he's cheating you.

Hey.

That rice is dirty. Throw it away.

Here. Buy yourself some food.

Come on.

Just take it, Mute.

Think of it as money to extend your life.

Thank you.

Are you going to help me?

You're a kind person, Mute.

Are you saying that Pas used to chase after your friends in France?

Yes, and not just the Thai women,

but western women too.

But then again,

he's royalty. He's handsome and rich.

It's normal for him to be popular with women.

But if you can't accept it, don't marry him.

Actually, I've heard a lot about him too.

But it wouldn't be fair to him

if I were to judge him based on what others say, right?

Honestly, Wasee,

how many women do you think are lucky enough in their arranged marriage

to meet a good man and live happily for the rest of their lives?

You're right.

But at least it worked out for your parents and mine.

That's true, but...

Come on, Su. I'm not going to marry him today or tomorrow.

There's still time for us to get to know each other.

Besides,

if Pas is really like what you said,

my mother won't let me marry him.

We're here.

You can leave those things here.

I'll ask the servants in the manor to carry them inside.

You wait for me right here. I'll bring you steamed sticky rice cakes.

You can take it with you for later, Mute.

Puang.

How could you do this to an old man?

Puang.

Wasee.

Su.

Oh, my goodness, what's happening?

My goodness.

He hurt Puang, ma'am.

Call the police. I'll make sure he's put in jail.

Yes, ma'am.

I called the police, ma'am. They should be here soon.

Good.

Should I give him another beating, ma'am? He deserves it for hurting an old man.

Chok.

Are you still denying it?

Do you know him, Than?

When I went to pick up Ms. Wasee and drive her back to the manor,

he intentionally walked past my car.

No, Mother.

Than, you shouldn't judge a person by their appearance.

No matter what we look like, we're all people.

You should ask him about it first.

Not just put the blame on him.

About the car accident, it was Than's fault, Mother.

He wasn't careful, so he hit someone.

So what happened? Why did you have to hurt him this bad?

Don't go near him. He's a criminal.

He came and attacked Puang inside the manor.

Hold him tight. I'm going to make him pay for this.

Yes, ma'am.

It wasn't like that, ma'am.

This young man is not a criminal.

Pim, what's going on in front of the manor? I hear a lot of commotion.

I don't know. I don't meddle in other people's business.

Pim!

-Pim! -What?

Ms. Wasee asked you to bring the first-aid kit to the manor right now.

Why me?

You're Ms. Wasee's servant. Who else should she ask?

Go now. Hurry up and take it up there.

He helped me carry things after we left the market.

When we arrived at the manor, I fainted and hit my head.

This young man must have tried to save me.

Then why didn't you say you weren't a criminal?

He can't talk, Mother. He's mute.

What?

You're mute too?

Why are you just standing there? Go give them the medicine.

I have a stomachache. Please take the medicine to Ms. Wasee for me.

He is pitiful, ma'am.

He's from the countryside.

He came looking for work, and he was cheated out of his pay.

You have no home and no work?

Not only he's mute, but he's also homeless.

Then why don't we just give him some compensation and call it a day?

Yes, let's do that.

Take the money and get out of my manor.

Saiyud, get the money.

Wait, Mother.

I think we should hire him to work in the manor.

What did you say?

Puang is old and we have a big garden.

It would be nice to have more help.

Right, Puang?

I'd be grateful if you'd be so kind.

He looks strong too.

He will be of great help to us in the manor.

The male servants are all very old now.

There's only Than.

It'd be great to have another young man to help out, ma'am.

Besides, he helped Puang.

Good people deserve to have good things happen to them, right, Mother?

How can I bring a mute into the manor?

People will talk.

I don't want to be the subject of gossip.

But if people find out that you ordered your servants to hurt an innocent person,

wouldn't that stir up even more gossip?

Wasee.

Please, Mother. Please?

Could you do this as a welcome-home gift for me, please?

Gosh.

Please?

All right.

Just for my daughter's sake. I'll take you in.

What?

Just work only in the back. Don't lurk around inside the manor.

You sleep here with me, Mute.

You can wear Than's clothes for now.

As for the bedding,

Saiyud will bring it to you.

Hey!

You don't have to do that, Mute.

We all should help each other in times of need.

If you hadn't saved me today,

I wouldn't have stood here right now.

But I still have to thank you.

What?

Aren't you mute?

No.

Damn it. Why didn't you say anything?

Now Lady Potchanit thinks you're mute.

That's why she dislikes you.

It's okay.

I've been through this since I was a kid.

Let time be the judge

that I'm not here to cause her trouble.

Besides, I don't know why I should say anything.

Every time I say something,

it only makes things worse.

It's good that you don't talk much.

People at the manor talk too much already.

What's your name, anyway?

I'm Chok.

Go on, Chok. Put those things away and clean yourself up.

Come find me in the kitchen when you're done.

Okay.

Chok.

Pim.

Why are you following me?

I had to come all the way here because I couldn't stand you.

I don't want people to say that I'm the wife of a mute like you.

I'm embarrassed.

And I'm disgusted.

Please.

Stop following me and pestering me.

Don't torment me.

-Don't ruin my life. -Enough, Pim.

Stop being so full of yourself.

How dare you raise your voice at me?

I couldn't have done it in the past.

But now I know what kind of person you are.

There's no reason for me to be considerate of someone like you.

And from now on, don't worry.

I will never get you into trouble.

Let's stay out of each other's way.

You keep your word.

And don't you dare tell others about me.

Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson.

Ms. Suphawadee is so impressive. She can drive by herself.

I can drive too.

Pardon?

In England, it's normal for women to drive.

I'll drive you to the market sometime.

My gosh.

My gosh.

Mute, is it really you?

My goodness.

Getting cleaned up and changed made you so handsome and almost unrecognizable.

He cleaned up nicely, didn't he?

Ms. Wasee.

-Ms. Wasee. -Yes?

He would like to thank you, Ms. Wasee,

for offering him a roof over his head.

It's to thank you for helping Puang.

If you need anything from now on, you can let me know through Puang.

You belong to my manor now.

I will take care of you from now on.

Mother.

If you are watching over me,

please wish me luck in finding Father.

Is this the man who wants to build his future on his own?

I'm just enjoying my life.

What's wrong with that?

Or do I have to live in the past

and only suffer like you do?

Pas.

Don't worry. I'm a grown-up. I can take care of myself.

You were rude to an adult and then ran away.

You didn't apologize to him.

And you call yourself a grown-up?

Look at yourself.

You came home drunk when you're meeting your fiancée tomorrow.

You call this responsible?

Why should I be responsible for a fiancée I didn't choose?

Wasee is a perfect woman. She comes from a good family.

Her education is second to none.

What's wrong with the choice I made for you?

If she's that good,

you should keep her for the son you've been looking for.

I'll tell you right here.

If I meet Wasee tomorrow and I don't like her,

I won't marry her.

And move that too.

Be careful. Don't break it.

Who was that?

Bua.

Didn't I tell you to be careful?

You are the worst.

-Get the new set of dishes. -Yes.

Mute!

My goodness.

Put that vase down right now.

-Than. -Yes, ma'am.

How could you let that mute carry things up here?

He's stupid and clumsy.

Will you take responsibility if he damages my things?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Get back to work in the back.

And don't ever come up here again.

Go!

Gosh.

Is Wasee still not ready, Saiyud?

I think she should be almost done.

Come in.

Ms. Wasee, your orange juice is ready.

Ms. Wasee.

The new servant you took in.

Who is he? Where is he from?

Did he say anything to you?

No, how can he say anything? He's mute.

Oh, is he?

Why aren't you excited to see your fiancé?

If I were you,

and had a fiancé who was a lord,

with a grand welcome party,

getting to wear pretty clothes and expensive jewelry,

my gosh,

I would be so excited I couldn't sleep.

Even if you were to be married off to someone you didn't love?

But he's a lord.

If I were you, I wouldn't care whether I was in love with him or not.

If he could give me a comfortable life,

good social standing,

so no one could look down on me,

that'd be good enough for me.

I understand you.

But for me, I'd rather marry someone I love.

This dress.

You will look so beautiful in it.

Everybody is going to be blown away.

But I think it's too short.

I like this one better.

What do you think?

I think this dress is too plain.

Even the dress I wore to the temple fair stood out more.

My gosh,

did you just compare the countryside temple fair

to my friend's welcome party?

Wasee, come here. Today is your day.

You will meet Pas.

Show him what you've got.

You're going to look the prettiest today.

And all eyes will be on you and only you.

This one is pretty too, Su.

Am I pretty, Lord Pas?

Ms. Wasee, you're a Mom Luang.

And you're also Lord Pas's fiancée.

If you wear a revealing dress,

people might gossip that you dress inappropriately.

I agree. Okay, I'll wear this one.

Do you like this dress?

Take it. It's yours.

It's an expensive dress. How can you give it to a servant?

Come on, Su. I rarely wear it anyway. Let me give it to her.

-Thank you, Ms. Wasee. -Wasee.

Come here, Su.

You're always like this.

Help me get dressed.

If I'm lucky enough to get this dress,

I must be lucky enough to meet you too, my lord.

Wipe the blood off your wound, young man.

It's okay, sir. It must be expensive.

It's just a piece of cloth. Don't worry about it.

I have to work in the kitchen and help out in the manor.

I even have to open the gate for the guests. I have to do everything!

That Mute, he doesn't have to do anything.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh. Mute, I have diarrhea.

Can you open the gate for the guests for me this evening, please?

Lady Potchanit won't see you at the front of the manor.

Here it comes. I'm counting on you. Please help me.

Hello. Make yourself at home, Lady Khaekhai.

Congratulations on your grandchild.

I'm so jealous that you have a grandchild.

Wasee is about to become the daughter-in-law of the Apha Manor.

I envy you more, Lady Potchanit.

Oh, no.

As the saying goes, good fortune is not something you can compete with.

You are blessed with good fortune.

You already live comfortably off the rents on your buildings and paddy fields.

But soon, you'll have a royal son-in-law too.

I'm very happy for you.

Thank you so much.

Why aren't they opening the gate?

Sir.

I'm finally lucky enough to meet you again.

LOVE AND FORTUNE
