Pikul and Luang Yot’s love began in Suphan when he saved her from drowning. Pikul was a flutist in her father’s orchestra. Their talent won them the support and sponsorship of Thun Chao Khun Pichai Decha (Luang Yot’s father) which made Pikul and her family move to live with Luang Yot and his family.
Class status was a barrier and obstacle in their love which made them run away and elope. However, their relationship is destined to be doomed because Pikul had inherited a cursed “rattlesnake” flute from Than Jun. And also because Sarapee is in love with Luang Yot and determined to have him even if it meant killing Pikul’s entire family and Luang Yot’s mother. The past ends with Pikul playing the flute devoting her very last breath to Luang Yot and misunderstanding that he had betrayed her love. While Luang Yot was stabbed to death by Sarapee due to her rage over her unrequited love.
