Synopsis
Veethra’s life takes an unexpected turn when she gets a letter from an old man, drawing her back to the “Baan Fak Jai” resort. But when she returns, she finds out the old man has passed away, and the letter isn’t from him. Fate intervenes, introducing her to Pathawee, the old man’s beloved grandchild whom she’d never met before, even though she visited the resort often.
Their first encounter takes a wild turn with an unexpected attack on Pathawee and a surprising proposal to which Veethra agrees.
As time unfolds, the delicate bond formed by the old man’s words grows into a profound connection between Pathawee and Veethra.
Love begins to blossom, but Pathawee harbors secrets that could jeopardize their relationship. Veethra becomes convinced that these secrets are linked to his sudden proposal.
The truth unravels when Veethra discovers something shocking. She has an older sister, separated from her due to her parents’ divorce, living with her father. Her sister is a widow with a child, and Veethra is surprised to find out Pathawee is the younger brother of her brother-in-law.
To make matters more complicated, Pathawee plans to fight for custody, facing opposition from Veethra’s sister and influential father. Now, Veethra has her own secret, caught in the middle of a family dispute. Determined to solve the problem without revealing what she knows, she faces the challenge of protecting the true essence of “Baan Fak Jai” as a sanctuary of the heart.
Veethra received a letter from Taiwa, who was not related by blood but whom Veethra respected as her grandfather. The letter asked her to return to Baan Fak Jai, a small resort where Veethra first met Taiwa when she ran away from home during high school.
When the Veethra arrived, she met Pathawee, the grandson whom Taiwa always emphasized his love for. She then learned the truth that Taiwa had passed away three months ago. This made her realize that Taiwa could not have sent her the letter. In addition to Pathawee, there were also Nuanta and Yorsaeng at Baan Fak Jai. Unfortunately, both of them were not there during her visit, so she could not ask if they were the ones who sent her the letter.
When she returned for the 100-day funeral ceremony, she had a chance to inquire about the letter, but to her surprise, no one seemed to know anything about it. The day before she was supposed to leave, Pathawee was physically assaulted and hospitalized. Veethra, knowing how much her grandfather loved Pathawee, decided to stay and look after him until he was safe. However, when they met again, he proposed to her.
Veethra agreed to marry Pathawee after a night of contemplation. She wanted to find out the truth and the origin of the letter, thinking this might be the last thing she could do for her grandfather, even though she didn’t know Pathawee’s reason for proposing. Although he said he wanted to improve Baan Fak Jai and himself, she felt there was a deeper reason but didn’t ask because she was sure he wouldn’t tell her.
Veethra lived at Baan Fak Jai as Pathawee’s wife with normalcy. There might be some embarrassment when Nuanta, who moved in with them, inquired about children. Veethra gradually learned about Pathawee’s daily life, discovering that he slept late and woke up in the afternoon. Later, she found out that in addition to his design work, he also composed music as a hobby.
One day, a group of Yorsaeng’s friends came to visit Baan Fak Jai. One of them was a young man whom Yorsaeng had feelings for. However, this visit almost led to a big problem when Yorsaeng was almost taken advantage of by the person she loved, but Pathawee saw it and intervened in time. This incident made Pathawee feel that if Yorsaeng, who grew up in a warm family, could make such a mistake, then other children who grew up in bad families would probably not be any better. Pathawee then told himself to hurry up a bit with what he intended to do.
After Pathawee’s splint was removed, he moved forward with his plans for Baan Fak Jai. Meanwhile, Korkiat, the lawyer of Baan Fak Jai, brought a key to Baan Fak Fah, which Taiwa had left with him, to Veethra. The keychain was unique, a steel ring with no way to add or remove keys. One key on the ring was smaller and stranger than the others, and no one knew what it was for. This made Veethra feel that she was one step closer to the truth.
Veethra decided to use the key on Baan Fak Fah to find whatever the small key could unlock after Pathawee went to Bangkok for business. Due to carelessness, Veethra left the door open, allowing a worker to follow her into Baan Fak Fah. Fortunately, Pathawee called before the worker could do anything. However, that night, fear caused her to have a nightmare. When she woke up, she found Pathawee beside her, and he stayed with her until morning. It was the first morning that Veethra and Pathawee had been closer than ever before. Pathawee wrote a song and told her it was Veethra’s song. From then on, they were husband and wife completely.
The renovation of Baan Fak Jai was nearing completion, and Veethra found another opportunity to go to Baan Fak Fah. This time, she found something that her grandfather had left for her. It led her to the truth that her older sister, Suwichada was the wife of Amput, Pathawee’s older brother. Amput had passed away, leaving only one daughter as his heir, but Suwichada never allowed her husband’s relatives to get close to her daughter.
The grandfather’s letter, which revealed the truth, pleaded with Veethra to act as a mediator, fearing that Pathawee might do something drastic regarding his niece. However, Veethra still deluded herself that nothing would happen because, throughout their close relationship, Pathawee had never mentioned his niece. And during that time, her older sister, who used to hate being a mother, had become a mother who loved her child very much. Pathawee seemed calm in everything until Ruchaya, his former lover, returned to Baan Fak Jai.
Ruchaya did not intend to rekindle her relationship with Pathawee. She was merely running away from some problems, and both Pathawee and Veethra helped her resolve them until she felt better. However, when Ruchaya was about to leave Baan Fak Jai, she said something that made Pathawee rush to Korkiat about something Veethra didn’t know. Waiting until he returned home that day, all she learned was that Ruchaya’s sentence was, “Don’t let our child grow up to be like Ruchaya.”
The next day, Pathawee went to see Korkiat again, and he returned in a good mood. Veethra asked him again what he had talked about with Korkiat. Pathawee decided to tell Veethra everything, including the fact that he needed to marry her and improve himself and Baan Fak Jai because he wanted to gain custody from the child’s mother. Now Pathawee was thinking of proceeding with the lawsuit.
Veethra was shocked and knew that the child he was going to take in must be her sister’s child. She tried to mediate by persuading Pathawee to meet the child’s mother again first. But it seemed like Pathawee wasn’t interested and even showed Veethra a video clip of Suwichada at a drug party to show how unfit she was to be a mother. Veethra was stunned and, without thinking, accused Pathawee of organizing the party himself. This made Pathawee so angry, he went to sleep in another room, leaving Veethra crying alone all night.
The next day, Pathawee went to Korkiat early in the morning without explaining anything to anyone and didn’t return home that night. Veethra was so stressed that she refused to eat or sleep, causing her to faint the next morning. However, this made Pathawee soften and agree to talk to his niece’s mother again.
Veethra quickly called to warn her sister to act like a good mother, trying to make it seem as coincidental as possible. It worked when Pathawee, who met Suwichada again, was stunned by her change. However, before leaving, he threatened her that if she behaved badly, he would take his niece away and even mentioned the clip to scare Suwichada.
Nevertheless, Veethra succeeded in her role as a mediator. Pathawee didn’t intend to sue but said he would continue to monitor because he wasn’t sure if Suwichada could really change. However, the intervals between Pathawee’s visits became longer when Veethra became pregnant and gave birth to a son. They named their son Taiwa, and Nuanta gave him the nickname “Taen,” which means “representative of the grandfather.”
When Taiwa Jr. was four months old, Pathawee decided to visit his niece again after a long time. However, on the appointed day, Suwichada called to change the meeting place, claiming that her daughter wanted to go to the sea, so she had to take her to a private residence in Pattaya. Yorsaeng, who came with Pathawee, asked not to go because she had to discuss work, but reminded Pathawee not to forget to pick her up when it was time to go home.
When Pathawee met Suwichada, she greeted him and asked if there was anything special he wanted to discuss today. Pathawee immediately replied that there was, because he wanted to tell her that he might not be able to visit his niece often and would ask Suwichada to bring his niece to his house sometimes. However, his answer made Suwichada misunderstand, so she proceeded with her plan for Pathawee, starting by drugging him to make him unconscious.
Yorsaeng, who was anxiously waiting for Pathawee, called Veethra to ask if Pathawee had been in touch. This made Veethra suspicious, so she called her sister to find out if Pathawee had left that place yet.
During this conversation, she discovered that her sister knew she was Pathawee’s wife and there was a misunderstanding involving Suwichada, who had received a blackmail letter from someone. Her sister believed that Pathawee and Veethra were behind it and intended to kill Pathawee. Veethra begged Suwichada not to harm Pathawee, trying to explain that it was a misunderstanding.
However, her sister coldly replied that it was too late, as she couldn’t contact the person carrying out the task since they were not her own people. Veethra immediately realized that it must be someone from her father’s side, so she urgently called him and pleaded.
Her father agreed to help Pathawee but demanded that she and her child live with him. Despite her reluctance, Veethra had to accept this condition to save Pathawee’s life. Before leaving, she told the truth to Nuanta, then learned that Nuanta was the one who sent her the letters from Taiwa. Veethra left both letters for Pathawee to read once he recovered from the near-fatal attack.
Suwichada was contacted again by the person blackmailing her to arrange a place to deliver the money. She agreed to the meeting, hoping to kill the culprit, but unfortunately, her father was abroad, and his men would not take orders from her, especially for illegal activities. Therefore, she could only have her father’s men drive and follow her, hoping to switch cars to pursue the culprit to their home. However, when she encountered the culprit, she lost control and impulsively chased them, leading to a severe accident that resulted in her being paralyzed.
Pathawee, who diligently focused on his recovery and healed much faster than the doctors anticipated, tried to think of a way to bring his wife and son back together. He realized that, besides him, the person who likely had the scandalous video was the detective he had hired for that job. So, he gathered information about this person and contacted Veethra’s father. He discovered that Veethra’s father already knew that Pathawee and Veethra were not the blackmailers, especially since someone had contacted him for money after Pathawee was beaten. They also waited for Pathawee to get in touch and arranged to have dinner together the next day.
At the appointed time, Pathawee handed over the video and the information about the suspected blackmailer of Suwichada. During this meeting, Veethra’s father revealed his desire to have their son inherit his business. When Pathawee and Veethra refused, he became aggressive, ordering his men to beat Pathawee and even had them graze him with a bullet. This prompted Veethra to rush to the kitchen, grab a sharp knife, and threaten her father that if Pathawee died, she would kill their son and then herself. Faced with no other choice, her father let them leave with their son, whom he had wanted to raise.
Pathawee promised to bring their grandson to visit as often as possible and assured that he would not object if the boy wanted to serve his grandfather in the future. Veethra was worried, fearing that her son might follow in her father’s footsteps, which she did not want. However, Pathawee reassured her that there was still time to guide Taiwa to grow up to be a good person. Veethra trusted him, believing that with role models like Grandpa Taiwa, Nualta, Pathawee, and Yosaeng from Ban Fak Jai, her son would learn right from wrong.
When Pathawee, Veethra, Yorsaeng, and little Taiwa returned to Ban Fak Jai, where Nualta was waiting, the house became warm and complete once again, just as everyone there had always hoped it would be.
