Endless Affection ( In the end , love always finds a way )

(50) Shadows of the Past

When Mrs. Aram arrives at Mumbai's airport and sees on TV that Siya is getting married, her heart sinks. She feels like her time is running out, and she's losing the opportunity to save her daughter, Siya. She goes with her daughter to Siya's house, but the security is tight due to the wedding, and the uncle stops anyone unfamiliar from meeting Siya . So, the watchman doesn't allow them inside and tells Mrs. Aram she won't be able to meet Siya .Mrs. Aram insists that she'll only leave after meeting Siya.
After a while, Siya's uncle arrives in a car and realizes that Mrs. Aram is creating a scene. He instructs the watchman to let her go, stating that he doesn't want any trouble at his daughter's wedding. The watchman agrees, but Mrs. Aram still doesn't leave. Many cars come and go, but Mrs. Aram can't spot Siya , Whenever a car arrives, she gets excited and rushes towards it. Finally, Siya arrives in a car with her uncle. Mrs. Aram runs behind the car, yelling Siya's name. Siya looks back and says she thought someone familiar was calling her, but her uncle tells her not to look back. Despite her doubts, Siya moves on.
When those people arrive to shop for Siya's wedding, the uncle tells the assistant that someone will create a scene at Mrs. Aram Siya's wedding. The uncle advises the assistant to go and inform her that she should meet him at his office, as there is no benefit in staying there. The assistant agrees and goes to Siya's house. There, he sees Mrs. Aram feeding a little girl. He feels compassion for her and tells her that there is no use in waiting there, as she won't be able to meet Siya. He informs her that the boss has called her to his office, and Mrs. Aram agrees to go there. The assistant leaves.
In the evening, Mrs. Aram, along with her grandchild , goes to Siya's uncle's office. Mrs. Aram asks what they want to talk about. Siya's uncle hands her a check worth 100 million baht, which is a substantial amount of money that she cannot fathom. He asks her to use this money to get her daughter treated and leave siya's life, without causing any more disturbances. Mrs. Aram responds by saying that if she only wanted money, she could have taken it on the day when he offered money for her brother's treatment, but Freen chose not to take it and returned the check.
(Here, we get a flashback from five years ago.)
{ 5 years ago }
Mrs. Aram is having a conversation with Siya's uncle in his office.
Mrs. Aram: When my daughter didn't accept money from you, how did you assume I would take it? Sorry, Mr. Kufu Lee, but I came here for a specific purpose, and I'll leave after accomplishing it. I will take Siya back to Thailand. With these words, Mrs. Aram starts to leave. After her departure, the assistant tells the uncle that she seems quite determined, and they should let her meet Siya. The uncle is worried that his years of hard work will go to waste, and Siya might return to Freen's life. He advises the assistant to think about what this woman intends to do. The assistant says he will try to reason with Mrs. Aram, to which the uncle remarks that she might be a stubborn woman. The assistant is confident in himself and says, "I trust myself." The uncle agrees and assigns the responsibility of sending this woman back to Thailand to the assistant because he's very busy due to the wedding.
The assistant goes outside to Mrs. Aram, tries to stop her, and starts talking to her. He sits next to her and asks,
Assistant: Who is this little girl with you?
Mrs. Aram: She's Freen's 3-year-old daughter.
The assistant gently pats Freen's daughter's head and says, "She's a very cute little girl." Freen's daughter smiles. He asks her, "What's your name, sweetheart?" Freen's daughter answers, "My name is Siya." Hearing Siya's name, the assistant is deeply moved, and it's evident that he has genuine sympathy for them. He tells Siya, "Your name is very nice, dear," and takes out chocolates from his pocket, saying, "Here, take these." Siya initially refuses the chocolates, but Mrs. Aram encourages her, saying that Uncle is giving them out of love. Siya, seeing Mrs. Aram as her grandmother, accepts the chocolates. The assistant then asks Siya what she wants to be when she grows up.
Siya replies, "Mom always tells me about Siya Singhania and says that when I grow up, I should be as successful as her." The assistant asks if she has ever met Siya Singhania, and Siya says no, she hasn't. The assistant assures her that she will meet Siya Singhania soon and tells Mrs. Aram that he will definitely help her meet Siya. Mrs. Aram asks him why he wants to help, and the assistant says, "I want to atone for the sins I committed five years ago."
Mrs. Aram asks what sin the assistant is talking about, what he did in the past that requires atonement. The assistant explains that five years ago, he had advised Mr. Singhania to portray Freen negatively in Siya's eyes so that she would start hating her more than she loved her. And it was Mr. Singhania who came up with that idea.
(We then see a flashback from five years ago.)
Five years ago, on the day Siya becomes the winner at Singhania University, the uncle throws a grand party. Siya's friends and Freen are also present at the party, and everyone is having a good time. Suddenly, Freen stumbles and twists her ankle due to her high heels, making it difficult for her to walk. Therefore, Siya assists Freen to her room and helps her sit on her bed. She then gently fixes Freen's ankle with her own hands. Freen looks at Siya with affection, noticing how caring she is. Siya asks Freen how her ankle feels, and Freen tells her that her touch has made it better. Siya offers water to Freen, who drinks it, and when she's about to leave the room, Freen holds her hand, pulls her closer, and kisses her. Siya responds with a kiss..
Uncle notices that Siya isn't at the party, so he starts searching for her. He asks Siya's friends if they've seen her, and they mention that they saw Siya and Freen going inside. The uncle enters the room and is shocked to see what he witnesses. He sees Siya and Freen kissing and is too stunned to react. He quietly leaves the room and tries to forget what he saw. The shocking sight of Siya and Freen kissing keeps haunting him.
The party ends, and Siya bids everyone farewell. When she hugs Freen and says goodbye, the uncle notices her actions. Later, Siya comes to the uncle and asks, Siya: Uncle, are you staying here today?
(Uncle remains silent as he is still preoccupied with what he saw earlier.) Siya : Uncle, where is your mind?
Uncle: I'm conscious.
Siya : Uncle, I'm telling you, are you staying here today?
Uncle: No, I want to go home.
(Uncle's behavior raises suspicion in Siya) Siya : Uncle, is something wrong with you?
Uncle: No, I'm fine.
Siya : But you're acting strangely, and you seem to be sweating.
Uncle: No, I'm fine. I want to leave.
( Siya wonders what might have happened to him.)
(Uncle goes home, and when he arrives, the servant gives him a glass of water. He drinks it and angrily throws the glass on the ground. His assistant is also bewildered by his behavior.) Assistant: Sir, are you okay? I've been watching you, and you seem very angry.
Uncle: I can't believe what I saw. I can't tell if it was true or false. How could Siya do something like this?
(He continues to express his frustration, even throwing objects around. His assistant tries to calm him down and asks him to explain what happened )
Uncle: He proceeds to tell his assistant the entire incident.
Assistant: Are you telling the truth?
Uncle: Yes, I am. I saw Siya and Freen kissing with my own eyes. I can't understand what to do. If it gets out that Siya is in love with another woman, it won't affect her image; she doesn't know that. She'll have to endure a lot. How could she make such a huge mistake? I can't bear to see it. I'll kill that teacher; I'll kill her.

Assistant: Please calm down, sir. Make your decision not out of anger but with a clear mind. If you harm Freen and Siya finds out later, she'll be heartbroken and may never forgive you. She'll love Freen for a lifetime. Do something that will make Siya mam hate Freen entirely, and Siya won't even be willing to look at her.

Uncle: You're right. I should handle this situation sensibly. I'll figure out how to make Freen completely irrelevant in Siya's life, and I'll do it in such a way that Siya won't even want to see her.
