Born into a life
that is like a shadow
who awaits light of the horizon
I only come into existence
when you shed light my way
once I'm without you I vanish away
I know that you're far away
but I only wish to stare
in this lifetime I only need this much
just loving you, I'm not brave enough
just secretly loving you. I'm still afraid.
I can only remind myself
who I am
I'm just a fading shadow
who receives your late light
only this much, my heart
is far too pleased.
- Aunt!- What the... ! Mali!
You, naughty, bad wench!
You startled me!
I've heard of ghosts too much.I'm feeling uneasy.
Where's your mind going to?
Have you removed all trashin the kitchen?
Hey! Mali!
Am I your slave?
Dare to order me, huh!?
I removed them all.
- It's there waiting for your to burn.You burn it!
I'm going to stick lemongrass.Don't you see it's about to rain?
Stick lemongrass? (thai believe: virgin girls do this so it's not raining)
You crap!
Stick lemongrass? Showing off you're virgin?
Go and stick it quickly.
When you finish,burn the trash.
Otherwise, I will report to Khun Ying that...
You are slacking.
She acts as if she aren't slacking!
P'Jian, getting up early to give offerings to monks,
It made my mind become lighten.
Doing merits,
it tends to make our minds comfortable, Tabthim.
Careful.
From now on,
I must get up early and give offerings every day.
And Bee, you may have to more work to do,
- since you got to help me preparing food.- You're more than welcome, Khun Ying.
P'Jian. I'm going to stretch out in my bed.
It's painful standing for so long.
- I'm taking you to your room, then.- No need.
I can go there by myself.
Let Bee go with you instead?
No. No. Bee, you too.
Go and have some rest.
- Can you make it?- Of course.
- Be careful, Khun Ying.- Alright.
Mali!
Mali is responsible, she burned all trash.
Oh.. no! No!
No! No!
Tabthim! Tabthim!
- Tabthim, what's wrong with you?- Khun Ying!
- Come and help me! - Khun Ying!
Tabthim, what's wrong?
Tabthim.
Tabthim!
It satisfies me greatly! She screamed like a psycho.
Good! Better be psycho to death!
You, old toxic maid! I didn't think that...
you possibly lose to such simple plan.
Because of just rose pedals!?
These rose pedals, suddenly,
how come they were in my mother's room?
Unless someone had put them there!
Well, it's obvious! So obvious!
- That's right!- What's it? What's obvious?
Ghost haunted!
Oh.. it's so powerful, truly.
So powerful you are, Lakkana's spirit!
When she died, she put rose pedals on her bed.And now she put them on Khun Ying's bed also.
I'm so frightened. Please don't haunt me.
Last time, she pushed Khun Ying down,and now she...
Hey! Stop talking!Enough!
- But everyone...- I don't believe in ghost, such nonsense.
Mon.
I'm feeling a bit frightened.
What if it's not ghost,
how could such thing happen?
It can be that someone has bad intention towards my mother.
You are really!
Who would think of doing weird thing?No way!
Mon, though you don't believe,you shouldn't disrespect it neither.
But those roses are real.I don't believe it.
No way ghost could make it real.
But the living person can.
From now on, I give an order.
Not to mention about ghostfor my mother to hear.
Otherwise, you all better leave this house.
About rose pedals,
I will investigate it myself.
Wait, Beeyachat.
Let's talk.
What about, Khun Mon?
About those rose pedals.People knows that...
you have brought roses to this house, right?
Yes. But I didn't know...
that Khun Ying is afraid of red rose pedals.
Once you knew, you scared her even more, didn't you?
Tell me. Did you put those rose pedals..
in my mother's room, Beeyachat?
Why did you do this, Beeyachat?Tell me.
No, I didn't.When I heard this from Aunt Nuan,
I told them to get rid of rose pedals at once.
I even told Aunt Ard to burn them all.
If they're burned,how come they were in my mother's room?
I.. I really don't know.
You don't know or you don't want to admit?
I really didn't do it.Why would I do harm to Khun Ying?
I don't believe you!Tell me...
why you did that! Why did you do that?
Khun Mom, it hurts.
It hurts? Then tell me the truth!
What is it, Beeyachat?
I didn't do it seriously.Khun Mon, please let go of me.
Mon! Mon!What are you doing?
I'm trying to make Beeyachattell the truth.
What truth?
Khun Mon accuses me thatI put rose pedals in Khun Ying's room.
Crazy! How could you think of something this crazy?
When your mother gets sick,
Bee is the person who will be tending her.
Why would she do it then?
That's why I'm interrogating her, Aunt Jian.
Today, I have no evidence to pin you down.I'll let you go.
Don't ever get caught!
It's alright, dear.
It's alright. Don't think too much.
Help! Help!
- Help! Help!- Khun Ying!
- Khun Ying!- She's going to kill me!
- She's going to kill me!- Nobody will hurt you.
I'm here. I won't let anyone harm you.
Don't worry.
Bee. Bee.
Bee, it's you for real? It's you?
It's me, Bee.
It's my sin.
The sin that I did to Lakkana.
Now that she wants to take my life.
It's not true, Khun Ying.
Noone will take away your life.
You didn't intend to kill P'Lakkana.
It's just misunderstanding.
How can that be a sin?
Do you mean it?
You don't deceive me, do you?
Of course, I mean it.
Let's do this.
You know how to pray for compassionate, right?
My grandma taught me.
The most effective weaponis the power of compassion.
All enemies and evils turn into allies,
When we have compassion for them.
Shall we pray for compassion for P'Lakkana?
I'll pray with you.
- Pray with me?- Yes. Gesture your hands.
Sabbe sattā[Buddhist chant/prayer in Pali language]
May all beings...
subject to birth,
aging, illness and death,
be happy together.
Averā hontu[Buddhist chant/prayer in Pali language]
May all beings...
be free from enmity, ill-will,
Abbayā pajjhā hontu[Buddhist chant/prayer in Pali language]
May all beings...
be free from exploiting...
each other.
I injected the cardiotonic agents.
You must take care of your health.Do some exercise.
No. I want to sleep.
Kuea, inject me some hypnotic drugs.
Please. I want to sleep.
Will you, Kuea?
Inject some.
I really want to sleep.I don't want to think of Lakkana again.
I don't want to think.I don't want to think!
No, I don't want to think.
- No. No.- Calm down, Mom.
- Aunt, wel...- Give me a shot so I can sleep, alright?
Alright? Mon?
Please. Mon.
I want to sleep. I don't want to think.
No. I don't want to think.
Please, Kuea.Mon, tell him to do so.
I want to sleep.
You can't let her lie in bed all the times, Monthai.
She will keep thinking of Lakkana.
That's true.We must have her do some activities.
- Then she won't think about it. - I don't ask for your opinion.
Hey, Mon. Why did you scold her?
What she says is right.
If your mother just lies in bed,
she will keep thinking about Lakkana.
Soon it'll be the due date.
Nu, Nu. I made Kui Chai* snack for you.(streamed bun filled with garlic chives)
It's noon. Take some rest.
- Later.- No. You must eat on time.
Come, quickly.It's still warm.
Nu, come and eat first.
You'll get ill.You may have stomachaches.
I'm not hungry.
Damnit! Totally wrecked!
I'm sorry.
Don't! It can't be used anymore.
Why are you so mad?
In a few days,I must bring money to your father.
Until now, I don't even have half of it.
This won't do, don't you get it? I'm not going to make it!
Good though. I don't want to marry the headstrong...
and unreasonable man like you!
Pa!
Wait! Khun Pa!
Nu!
What's wrong with you two?
You can tell me.
Don't do it, Khun Mon.
No matter what, I don't take someone's money for free.
I want to earn this sum of money by myself.
Who says I'm giving you for free?
I will hire you to paint pictures.
Paint pictures? Paint who?
A portrait of my motherfor 100,00 cash.
- Portrait of Khun Ying? - Right.
I want my mother to dress beautifully.
As a model to your painting, it will brighten her up.
She may forget Lakkana somehow.
Nu. Agree to do it, alright?
I'm willing to do it. You don't need to give me a dime.
Hey, no way, Nu.
I help you, you help me.It's fair.
So we agree, Nu.
- Yes, Khun Mon.- Very good.
These are all I have.
Could you sell them all
- and give all money to me. - Khun Pa.
Is it alright?
I know it's not enough.
But it's better than doing nothing.
I can't bear it, seeing he's so stressful.
I'll try to get some loan to help out.
But, about this,
please don't tell Nu.
Just say that all this money is yours,alright?
Yes. I won't tell him.
Thank you very much, Aunt Nuan.
You must not tell him. If Nu knows,
He will be definitely mad at me.
I'm not mad.
I love you even more.
Crazy...
Pa. Khun Pa.
You offended me and now try to mollify me? You better scold me all you want.
What are you doing?
My dear. I'm sorry.
I was too emotional and offended you yesterday.
Khun Pa. Right now,I got myself a super rich investor.
I just paint one portrait, and I will get 100,000 to give to your father.
Nu, is it for real?
- Yes. / - Nu- Khun Pa.
Nu, I'm so glad.
Whose portrait will you paint?When will you start?
It's tomorrow.
Here.
- Khun Ying, Hello. - Hello, Aunt.
Today, you look very beautiful.
She's so beautiful,
Since the beautician is this woman.
Tabthim, I'm so glad now.
I haven't seen you smile widely for several days.
Mon, you are goodthat you can fetch her out of bed.
No, I'm not.Mother has wanted her self-portrait painting.
Mom, keep smiling like this.
Smile so the painting will come out beautiful.
Yes, I will smile the most beautiful smile.
You can see my picture insteadwhen I'm not living.
Geez, what are you saying, Tabthim.
See, you get much more healthier.
Why saying about dead or alive?!Come on, start the painting.
- Nu, are you ready?- Yes.
Let's start. Pose well.
Everyone, help him out.
Like this.
Tamthim, smile. Turn your face a bit this way.
- Ard. - Yes.
Take some tea to the gazebo.
- To where they are painting?- That's right.
I'll do it.
Ancient say, taking or painting while being ill,
it's bad luck. Aunt Jian.
What are you trying to say?
I'm worried.
Maybe you trust Bee too much.
She's such a busybody
bringing a lame artist to paint Aunt's portrait.
Khun Wiyada...
where have you been all this time?
Didn't you know that everything
your fiance has arranged it?
It's nothing to with Bee at all.
So ..
my neighbors call it as 'broken face'.(slang: humiliated; dumbfounded)
- Really?- Ard!
- It's not servant's business. - Stop it.
Wi! Enough!
Stop talking about bad luck, nobody wants to hear it.
Right now, the only interestis that Khun Ying's getting better,
happy both physically and mentally.
Another thing,
I don't care about a sound of lizard,
or a bark of dog.
A dog barks over dried banana leaf.*(prov: show off you're good but you're not)
Argg.. Ard!
Not die easily, huh? Old Tabthim!
It's all for today, Khun Ying.
Do your muscle feel stiff?
- It do feel stiff.- You were quite still while smiling. So beautiful.
- Thanks.- It'll be over soon.
I finished the sketch today.Later, I'll color it on canvas.
Soon, it will be finished.It's all for today.
- Thank you, Khun Ying. - So you can go and change into normal clothes,
and take some rest.
Let's go.
Rest and stretch your muscle.
You sit for so long, your muscle still feel stiff?
A bit.
Bee, thanks so much
for helping me get dressed since morning.
You're welcome, Khun Ying.
I'm glad to see you're happy.
I'll pack these things.
Wait, not yet.
I want you ..
to choose one.
Think of it as my gift for you. Pick one.
This ring. Here, my gift for you.Take it.
Thank you very much, Khun Ying.
But it's so valuable,
I don't deserve it.
Khun Wi has come.It's Khun Wi..
who deserves this valuable thing.
Whao.. Bee.
You're flattering me.
Oh! This ring is nice.
Don't touch it. This ring..
It's for the Mahartawet's daughter-in-law only.
Then it's me.I'm the daughter-in-law-to-be of the Mahartawets.
So wait until that day comes.
- Khun Mon. - Wi.
Calm down.
Mother wants to give a diamond ringto a toady,
she has rights to do it.
But what you will get from me,
other have no rights to get.
Mom, you may not know this.
I gave the family ring to Wi.
Though it doesn't cost much,
she accepted it without complaining.
It represents our ten years of love.
It's more valuable than your diamond ring.
Is that right, Wi?
That's right.
Let me see.
Gosh!
If it's so important and valuableas you have said,
why is Wi not wearing it?
Eh! Or it's an invisible ring.
Wi! Where's the ring?
Burn these letters!
- Including one in your hands.- Khun Mon loves you so much.
Khun Mon says he wants you to over thereand get married with him.
To do house works, in a narrow apartment room,
and suffer from poorness till I die, you say?
I don't want it!
Why don't you wear it?
I'm afraid I'll lose it, so I keep it in a box.
Ah..
so you take it off,and keep changing to one another,
like changing partners.
Aunt Jian!
If you still have it,
and keep it well,
bring it so I can see right now,will you?
I'm sure I put it in here.
If Khun Wi doesn't have this ring,she'll get into big trouble.
How can I help Khun Wi?
Maybe, I forget to bring it from Chiangmai.
You are really..
Admit to it that you threw it away, then everything's settled.
Wi, think carefully whether you have brought the ring or not.
Wi, so? Have you brought the ring with you?
I.. I...
- Khun Wi! Khun Wi! I have something important..- Beeyachat!
Have some manners.
But I have to get her out now,it's really important.
May I excuse for a moment.
Khun Wi, come in.
Khun Wi.
The ring Khun Mon gave to you is with me.
I keep it.
Really?
I was about to get in trouble.It's good that you keep it.
- Let me see. - What are you guys doing?
It's my ring. Why is it here?
Answer me, Beeyachat.
Why do you have my ring?
Wi, what do you say?
Tell me, Bee.Who made you become a thief?
Why did you steal my ring? Huh?
Khun Wi.
Khun Mon, Bee is afraidthat she'd get punishment.
That's why she called me out hereto confess.
She confessed that she stole the ring.
You really did that, Beeyachat?
Get up.
I...
I won't believe that
Bee steal anyone's stuff.
I don't believe it either.
Bee, you didn't steal it, did you?Say it.
Don't let anyone accuse you.
Say it.
Don't be afraid, dear.Say it out.
I guarantee nobody will harm you.
Speak the truth.
So what, Beeyachat?
Why do you have my ring?
Bee, come here.
Say it ..
You took my ring, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Well then, Bee.Since you confess,
I don't punish you.
Khun Mon. Here.
The ring of our love and memory.
Put it on my finger again.
Khun Mon. We shall go.
- She is really..- Bee.
