" The Past Life " Episode 25

Welcoming a newcomer like me?

Ms. Ann, you love making jokes?

It startled me.

You believe in past life...

and reincarnation?

My father asked me the same thing.

I used to tell him that I don't believe in them.

Until...

the day I met you at the hotel.

And today.

My mother...

used to tell me...

the stories about her best friend,

Rachawadee.

Ms. Rachawadee...

remembered her past life as Princess Maan Kaew.

The wife of Prince.

Prince is Grand-Uncle Rangsiton.

Father used to tell me things about Princess Maan Kaew and Rachawadee.

And Grand-Aunt Wilailayka.

Princess Tan Ying?

Yes.

She poisoned Princess Maan Kaew and Ms. Rachawadee to death.

I've been feeling as if I'm the owner of this house...

since the first time I saw this house while touring the boat ride.

It's my honour to let you be its owner.

Are you hinting at something?

You must keep your word. Otherwise, you'll die.

Is that a curse?

- Let's go. - Wait.

We still have some time.

Do you want to look around the place?

Sure.

Yes, let's go.

Wow, it's beautiful.

You like it?

Yes. It seems that I like everything about it.

It's so beautiful.

Do you always stare at people like this?

Like what?

Like Count Dracula.

You're staring at my neck. Want to suck my blood?

Look at you. You're laughing as if you really want to do it.

Am I that bad that you are comparing me with Dracula?

Comparing is not bad.

I was going to compare you as the young Count Darula.

He might be as handsome as you.

I said it out loud.

Aunt.

Jirakom is my son.

Your Grand-Nephew, Aunt.

And he is in love with someone from his past life.

I hope you could understand him.

Prince,

Princess Maan Kaew,

Ms. Rachawadee,

and Princess Wilailayka.

I hope you all would receive the merit I did on your behalf.

Please.

Please.

Prince.

Hello, Uncle.

Thank you for your help.

Sure.

Please.

Win, haven't seen you for a long time. How are you, man?

I'm fine. How about you?

Very good.

Hello, Princess.

Who are you?

I'm Sutawin, the owner of this hotel.

Mr. Jirakom is really talented.

Every guest is amazed by him.

Of course, I'm very proud of my son.

But unfortunately, I need to attend another party for tonight.

The ambassador is having a cocktail party.

And he invited me to be the special guest.

I couldn't say no to him.

It's my honour to have you attending my party today.

Father, please help me.

- This way, please. - Hello.

- Ms. Antra. - Yes?

Come here, please.

Uncle. This is Antra, the hotel owner's daughter.

And this is Minister Pan.

Jirakom and I invited him here.

Hello.

You're so polite, Dear.

Are you introducing Jirakom's girlfriend to us?

Yes.

Good.

That's great. Youngsters nowadays should be this honest.

Jirakom has a good eye.

He found himself a nice girlfriend.

Then, may I be excused to greet other guests?

How's the party?

Have you eaten anything yet?

Ann.

- Excuse us. - Excuse me.

- Mother. - Come greet Princess Sawanya.

She's Jirakom's mother, Dear.

Yes.

Princess.

This is Ann Antra, my daughter.

This is Lady Sawanya, Jirakom's mother, Dear.

Hello.

Rachawadee.

May I be excused to greet other guests?

Go ahead, Dear.

Hello, Yuth.

Hello.

How are you?

I forgot about it.

I shouldn't have asked you that.

Since you're so rich,

you must be living a good life, right?

How are you?

You don't need to mock me.

You're so rich, but you remain single.

You can't forget Teacher Rachawadee.

That girl...

is slightly younger than Ji.

You want her to be Ji's stepmother...

just because she looks like the teacher?

What are you talking about?

I'm wicked, am I not?

We're all old. We shouldn't think about such thing.

And I'm not that kind of old man...

who is dirty-minded and wants to be with a girl that is our son's age.

These things are normal to you,

but not me.

- Princess, are you leaving? - Not yet.

I'm waiting to talk to Yuth.

It seems like your daughter...

is interested in Yuth.

A working-class Chinese.

She want to have a taste of the old money so bad.

- Princess! - Lady Win!

Lady Win.

Come here.

Come.

The man that played the piano who is your daughter's boyfriend.

Where is he?

Those ladies want his autographs.

Where is he?

Come, take me there.

Let's go, everyone is waiting for his autographs.

Ms. Ann.

- Water for you. - Thank you.

Are you tired?

Not at all.

I was worrying that I couldn't play it well.

You played it well.

I'm happy that you like it.

Thank you.

Ms. Ann.

This is for you.

What it is?

It's a nice drawing.

You covered my hair with this handkerchief.

That means you don't like my Afro hairstyle.

Yes, I don't like it.

But I like this handkerchief a lot.

This handkerchief isn't mine.

It's my friend's.

What?

Ms. Ann, is this a joke?

I should go flirt with the owner of this handkerchief.

Go ahead.

She came to this party.

If you remember what she looks like,

go find her then. I won't help you with that.

Ms. Ann.

I've met you.

Why should I find someone else?

Ms. Ann.

What?

Let's go meet my mother.

She's here too.

She stays in England and comes back here once in a while.

My mother has introduced her to me.

Your mother is beautiful.

Yes.

My mother should be the same age as yours.

- Yes. - You're hiding here.

Come meet my husband.

So that he can congratulate you for playing the piano well.

Mother.

- This is Ms. Antra. - I know her.

A working-class Chinese girl...

who wants to get married into a royal family...

in order to raise her social status.

Just wait and see. She'll follow you around.

Mother!

Don't you even think of marrying her.

I won't allow it even if you love each other.

Why do you talk like that? I don't agree with you, Mother.

- Let's go, Ms. Ann. - Ji.

How dare you disrespect me in front of this girl!

Mother, you yelled at Ann first.

It doesn't matter.

I want you to stop mingling with this girl.

I want you to have a proper girlfriend.

I don't want you to mingle with a girl who wants money only.

That's worthless.

- Mother. - Mr. Ji.

Please go with your mother.

Our relationship isn't stable yet.

You have other options, so do I.

- Ms. Ann, wait. - Don't follow me.

I'll go back to my room.

If you follow me to my room,

I'll sleep with you,

even though we just met.

And this time, an honourable man like you...

won't get to run away from...

the working-class Chinese girl like me.

Not until I dump you.

See! See how arrogant she is!

Mother.

Why are you defending her?

Why did you talk like that, Mother?

Let's go, Mother!

I'll meet whoever you want me to meet.

Let's go.

What an evil woman!

How cruel she is!

If you weren't Ji's Mom,

I'd teach you a lesson!

I just found out that the girl isn't going to be Ji's stepmother.

She's going to be your daughter-in-law, Prince Jirayuth.

Come here.

Stop it, Wan.

How can you allow Ji to mingle with that lowly girl?

Quiet!

It's a new era. No one thinks like that anymore.

The time has changed.

It doesn't matter. They aren't compatible.

Don't you remember it?

The so-called compatibility ruined both of our lives.

Or do you want the same thing happen to our son?

It's love.

I will not force our son or anyone else.

You know it well...

what we'd been through.

If I can turn back the time,

I believe you want to go back to the past too.

But I'm Ji's mother.

I have the right to get involved in our son's life.

Wan.

You gave up on that right long ago.

The agreement said that...

I will raise our son alone.

A mother's feeling can't be destroyed by an agreement.

I'm Ji's mother.

The mother of the only child of yours.

And no matter what the Gods do,

it's fact that can't be changed.

Yes.

It's a truth that can't be changed.

But the honour...

and promises...

were written in black and white,

weren't they?

And I know that...

it is impossible for a gambling addict to keep her word.

That's why I had your signed the disclosure.

But if you're not ashamed,

I will show it to our son.

Rascal!

Wan.

I think you should go back to Europe.

Ji will be happier staying here...

if he doesn't have a mother like you.

That is Princess Wilailayka.

She is Grand-Aunt of Jirakom.

And she is my father's sister.

Princess is beautiful.

Yes, she is.

I bought over the fund-raising receipts...

that you and Prince Jirakom donated for the event.

There are two of them.

Thank you.

Ji donated too?

He didn't mention it.

Yes, he did.

He performed without accepting the payment.

He said that's for the good cause.

May I be excused?

Antra.

Do you need to go back to work?

I need to bring the receipts to three or four more people.

Let me walk you out.

Ms. Antra.

There's something I have been wondering.

And I want to ask you about it.

Sure.

I may be old-fashioned.

But I'm still suspicious of...

the ancient beliefs.

You don't look like your parents at all.

But you look...

exactly like someone I used to know.

She's...

Rachawadee.

Your parents must have told you that before.

Yes.

Ji too.

Ji looks exactly like his Grand-Uncle,

Prince Rangsiton.

And we're not even his descendants.

What you and...

Ji experienced,

the ancient people called it as...

reincarnation.

It's the only thing that still trouble me.

I don't remember the stories of Ms. Rachawadee...

and Princess Maan Kaew.

But there's one thing...

that Mother has never told me about.

And I have never told her about it.

It's a memory associated with me since I was born.

It appears whenever I meditate.

That is...

someone became a monk for me.

That person became a monk for Rachawadee...

when she passed away.

And I keep feeling that...

you are that person.

That could be the blessing...

that made Rachawadee...

reborn as Antra.

I'm leaving.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Antra.

Rachawadee.

Ms. Ann.

I went to look for you at your place.

What for?

I want to apologise to you on my mother's behalf. She's rude to you.

Maybe what your mother said is right.

I'm the daughter of the working-class Chinese.

And I want to marry into a royal family.

Wait, Ms. Ann.

Ms. Ann.

My mother and I are two different people.

Don't mix us together.

I truly want to spend my life with you.

I'm a grown man.

And I am an adult.

I can make decisions by myself.

But you can't make decision for my feeling.

Ms. Ann.

You're not mad at me anymore?

I stopped being upset long ago.

If I meet your mother again,

I will get mad again.

Wait, Ms. Ann.

I will talk to my mother.

But today, I want to serve you.

Wherever you want to go, I'll drive you there.

And when we're done,

can we go cook something at the river mansion?

It's okay to give me nicely.

Please.

It's Prince's palace.

But I'm not a prince, so I turned it into a mansion.

I didn't have much time to bring you here for a tour.

Ms. Ann.

- Yes? - What are you looking at?

That wall.

Is there a picture hanging there?

Or there used to be one?

Ms. Ann,

you are very clever.

My father said that there used to be a portrait of the house owner.

He saw that portrait up in the attic when he was remodeling the house.

Really?

Then do you still have that portrait?

No.

When it's found,

it was already thirty to fourty years old.

When I found it,

there was nothing left but the frame.

My father had it fixed then.

Okay.

Shall we continue?

- Yes, please. - Please.

Ms. Ann, be careful!

Are you okay?

Yes.

But you look pale.

Let's go take some rest, okay?

Yes.

Slowly.

Ms. Ann.

Can you tell me...

what did you see?

You brought me here to cook, right?

Yes.

Let's go then.

Yes.

Slowly.

Those're all fresh products.

You're going to cook together, right?

Yes.

You're not going to invite me to join you?

Because you don't like Ann, Mother.

Why should we dine together?

I simply want to disturb both of you.

So that she'll become unhappy from choking on the food.

Mother.

I just apologised to Ann...

about what you did to her at the party.

I don't want Ann to be unhappy.

I will take her home.

You can stay here if you want to, Mother.

I'll come back to talk to you later.

And I don't want to cook anymore.

I'll buy you food.

Jirakom!

Are you neglecting me for a girl?

You don't even love your own mother.

Do you think other girls will believe that you love them?

You think they'll believe that if one day they lose everything,

you won't abandon them like what you did to your own mother?

And you, Antra.

I'll remind you again that I really hate you.

And I'll never accept you as my daughter-in-law.

And if you keep being stubborn,

I will destroy your wedding.

Do you need to do that, Mother?

Just because Rachawadee and her look alike?

That's right.

I'm not the only one to blame for this.

Look at your father's attitude.

He made me heartbroken.

This palace too.

He renovated into a wedding house.

And he started to mingle with that girl.

Your father married me...

and wanted me to live here. Don't you think that's cruel of him?

I'd always been your father's last option.

He never cared about me.

And he even found a daughter-in-law that looks like Rachawadee.

I don't want anything like this.

But how can I confront your father?

Your father always criticise me.

He always say that I'm to blame for everything.

I don't know what kind of person he is.

He doesn't respect me at all.

And you, Dear.

I'm your mother.

Mother,

no matter what,

you shouldn't talk to Ann like that.

Because Rachawadee and her are two different people.

I'm not wrong.

Your father still think that they are the same person.

And I think so too.

I think you're being unreasonable, Mom.

You just wait and see.

If you keep being stubborn and insist on mingling with her,

get yourself ready to see my dead body.

I will die in front of you.

Mother.

You're worrying about your mother's matter?

Yes.

Don't worry, Son.

Just tell me.

Do you want to marry Antra?

Yes.

- But... - If you want to do so,

stop being hesitant about it.

I will take care of everything.

What about Mother?

Don't you worry, Son.

Your marriage life is yours, Ji.

Your mother will understand it.

As for your mother,

you will love and respect her as you always do.

Your mother is not a bad person.

If she can be calm and reasonable,

she'll think about it.

Yes.

Let's get down to business.

We know about the relationship between...

our daughter, Ann and Jirakom.

We won't disturb the land and the palace of Prince,

even if it's for rent or purchase.

Thank you.

In that case, I'll give that land to Ji and Antra...

as a wedding gift.

But here's the problem.

I'm not sure if your family will agree with it.

Because my family is not that wealthy.

We only have enough to go round.

Please speak freely.

Since the day I met Prince Ji,

he's always been a good person.

Both of us have objection to it.

Yes, I agree.

I'm glad to hear that.

In that case, I'll ask the elders...

to be the witnesses for the wedding.

Then, please excuse me.

Are you in a hurry to leave?

Yes.

Here, Prince.

Rachawadee?

Dear Tawin,

Once you've received this letter,

that means I've passed away.

But don't you feel sad.

Death is not a scary thing to me.

I lived my last days peacefully.

I recited and prayed...

in order to create blessings for Prince.

I believe that he will receive all merits that I have done.

His spirit...

is still waiting for Princess Maan Kaew,

his bride.

And I'm Princess Maan Kaew reincarnate.

I can't accept the love of Prince Jirayuth.

He is not the one for me.

I can't live with him at the river palace...

when Prince is still lingering there.

Rachawadee sent you the picture?

It's just an old picture.

It's taken when we were teaching at the school.

Yes.

But this picture...

I finally understand Rachawadee.

And the deep meaning of love.

No matter which lifetime one is having,

the love remains.

If I didn't see this picture,

I wouldn't have believed that…

the man who talked to me at the palace...

was Uncle Rangsiton,

Rachawadee's prince...

and Princess Maan Kaew's.

Yes, Prince.

At last,

two souls who had been yearning for each other since the past life...

met again.

That ends the suffering of...

their long waiting.
