At first, Singha and his friends mock Mituna for being quiet. He becomes friends with Lam, who helps him survive Kong (who tries to kill him) and becomes close to Singha's group. Singha ridicules Mituna when they become dance partners, but Mituna had fought back on the bus after she was ridiculed for helping a mute woman.
