Both parents having passed away early she was brought up by her maternal grandfather. Years later Massaya grows up as a free spirited, boyish and a little crude woman. Head of Rattanamahasarn family (Massaya's grandma) feeling sad and guilty about the past orders her grandson Lak to bring back Massaya.
