Pattama has an opportunity to get good education owing to a kind help from her friend’s father. Because of her beauty, her good heart and her numerous friends, there are many people who are quite jealous of her, especially Praguyrat, Ratana’s daughter. The truth finally opens up to everyone when her father’s older sister meets her and sees Prapas’s necklace on Pattama’s neck. Prapa wants to redeem her sin from what she has done to Manee in the past by signing all of her belongings to Pattama, but she doesn’t accept anything: all she wants is just to know the truth about who she really is.
