Room 612

I scrolled past pictures of condo room rental announcements on websites for a long time. Until I caught the eye of a condo that was not far from my work and had a rental price that was comfortable enough to afford. The example picture is a not large room, with an ensuite bathroom, a washing balcony, a bed, a cabinet, a table and bright blue curtains, and a location close to both the bus stop and the skytrain and the market.

What is eye-catching is the entrance to the building.

That looked strange, but I didn't think anything of it. The location and extremely cheap rent are blinding. With convenience close to work Really perfect Before picking up the phone Press the number now according to the announcement.

The conversation ended briefly. I made an appointment to see the place first before making a decision..

On the appointed day, I arrived early to see the location. In addition to the strangeness of the place

And the building looks dilapidated over time. The residents who walked by looked relaxed. Suitable for people who don't have a car like me. Plus it's very calm.

Niti Building: Hello, let's take a look at the room you contacted.

Me: Yes.

Legal building: empty side

B

Please, room 612. Do you want to go look?

Me: Very good.

Niti Building: Here's the key. Take the elevator on that side. Please come at your convenience.

Received the key confusedly. with welcome But I'm not complaining. You'd better walk into the elevator and check out the room. Coming out of the elevator, I saw the housekeeper cleaning the corridors, looking at me strangely. I didn't mind. The walkway to room 612 is at the end of the building. Plus it looks separated from other rooms. With a cabinet to store the electricity meter blocking the view of neighbors The door looked old and faded, with only a locking knob and a key strap.

I was a little hesitant about the front of the room, but I wasted my time wanting to know the condition inside. My hand holding the key hesitates, but it's fun if I guess. Insert the key and unlock the door. Gently open the door.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..

The sound of hinges that had probably been closed for a long time until they became stiff and the stale air with dust billowing out until I choked on a cough. The condition of the old bed with a white sheet covering it. The writing desk is a pale color. The corner of the room and bathroom look a bit shabby and the balcony looks good. Looks old with time Except for the blue window curtains that were blowing in the wind. The condition is more strange than the room. It looks newer than the pictures on the internet.

The wind is good, the clothes drying rack is ready, there is a table to use, there is also a bed. The bathroom is clean and clean. It's ok. Just change the light bulb and find an additional wardrobe. The budget is perfect.

I thought to myself for a laugh. Before closing the room, go down and make a contract..

Niti Building: You can leave it for now. There hasn't been anyone in the room for a long time.

Me: No, just make a contract.

Niti Building: I'm sure.

Me: No problem. Can I put down a deposit?

Niti Building: Rent that room. I won't change my mind for sure. Do you want anything more?

Me: Yes. If you change the toilet cover and remove the bed cover or have the housekeeper help clean it, I would be very kind.

The building forensics acted hesitatingly, to the point where I was surprised, but the rental contract was already written. Ready to inform you of the transfer date

Leave my body outside the door The chubby Niti Building sighed heavily and shook his head before calling the housekeeper to go clean the room.

Niti Akarn: It's not worth it. You're still really young. Will you survive until the end of the month? Oh, that room is scary...

On the day of moving in, after contacting the building forensics, I felt something unusual. There was a monk who came to the room to sprinkle holy water before I moved in. Check the condition of the cleaned room. New equipment ready as requested. The room looks brighter and more livable than the first day I saw it. Changed almost everything except that blue curtain.

Just thinking about it, for just a few baht of rent you get a new mattress. Plus a wardrobe, light bulbs, and a nice bathroom. The owner of this building is very kind.

That night..

Organize things until you're tired. Prepare to take a nap. The air in the room was cool like the air conditioner was on. The wind blew so hard that the window curtains blew. I turned off the light and went to bed exhausted. Feeling cold in the middle of the night It's like you're not sleeping alone. Because the mattress has a tendency to move because people get out of bed. The sound of flushing the toilet The sound of people walking softly

Before I lost consciousness, I fell into a deep sleep. It was like seeing the figure of someone standing and looking at the end of the bed.

New morning...

Silently, he got up to clean his body. On the way to the elevator The cleaning lady looked startled and looked at me strangely before quickly making her way out of the way. Passing by the building juristic person, he looked at me with strange eyes. Look down when greeting Then another day of working time passed.

After closing the door to the tea room, I was stuck because of the smell of incense sticks. Is it the next room or not? I closed the balcony here. How did you get that smell? After going out to stand and feel the breeze roommate next door Seeing this, I hurriedly gathered the cloth into the room as if I was afraid of something.

Because of exhaustion after taking care of personal matters, I moved the mattress and moved the corner of the bed. To find a place to put a new lamp Open a book and read to relieve loneliness. I'm not sure how long I slept. Eyelids open, I forget to see someone standing at the foot of the bed. Long hair covering the face The skin was frighteningly pale. I heard a soft sound.

This is my room..

This is my room..

This is my room..

This is my room..

This is my room..

Play until the book is blown away. It's morning already. Frantically, he hurriedly took a shower and left the room. He met the same housekeeper and started planning to find information.

Me: Hello, Auntie. Be diligent since morning.

Housekeeper: Yes, are you going to work?

Me: Yes, auntie, where do they light incense sticks upstairs in the house? The smell filled my room.

Housewife: What is it? Joss.

Me: Yes, it smells strange.

Me: Has Auntie worked here long?

Housewife: Since the building was built.

Me: Oh, right, does Auntie know? The room I was in was rented by the previous person. Where did he move to?

Housewife: I'm stunned. I'll cut it short. Auntie will go first. If you have any questions, please ask Niti. I'm in a hurry.

I want to know more than before. What exactly is the history of this room? On the first day, a monk came to the room..

That evening, I decided to find flowers, incense sticks, and candles to pay homage to the Lord Buddha before going to my room. Begin to hesitate to unlock the door. Afraid of encountering something scary Enough to enter the room The cold wind hit my body, making goosebumps stand up. I closed the room, and who opened the balcony door to let in the breeze? Who is standing there? The blue curtains fluttered from view in the wind.

My legs were heavy, I couldn't take a step with that picture. Like a woman wearing pajamas How do you get into the room? I steeled myself and walked slowly. I want to make sure that the person or the blind person is about to reach out and grab the curtain to prevent it from flying. A strong gust of wind blew the curtains against my face, blinding me. I had to stand and calm myself before slowly opening my eyes. There, there was only me in front of the balcony door.

A faint sound came from nowhere.

This is my room..

This is my room..

This is my room..

This is my room...

Because the room door was open, the image on the screen

cctv

This made the building law enforcement officer so surprised that he had to come up and take a look. In my room, I lay folded up in front of the balcony door, so cold I had to be taken to the hospital.

The arm holding the IV line wasn't as heavy as the feeling of paranoia inside. Still feeling happy that the chubby Niti Akarn was sitting next to the bed as a friend.

Niti Building: The owner of that room used to be the son of the building's owner. They probably got bored after that so they broke up. But his younger brother refused to move out. Sia didn't come to take care of him. So his younger brother jumped off the balcony and died at the hospital.

Niti Building: Too bad, news closed. Invited a monk to pray and closed the room for many years until she passed away. The room was then sold to be used as a rental room, and a wealthy relative had Niti help take care of it instead.

Niti Building: No one has ever been able to stay for more than a week. The people who stayed longer just disappeared with their belongings. Most recently, it was a resident.

Me: Then why is it strange?

Niti Building: The residents saw the announcement that was posted many years ago. like everyone else What should I do next?

Me: Why didn't you tell me?

Niti Building: Business, employees must be quiet and follow the flow.

Niti Building: I have informed the son of my father who is taking over the management. He will demolish that room. then close the entrance permanently The residents will get back every baht they made in the contract. Just don't take issue with the condo or if you want a new room. Niti will take care of it for you.

Me: Is there any room available? I'd like a good history room, please.

Still need to stay because of limited budget It's good that the condo takes care of it. You have to endure it for a few months before moving.

The story that I didn't tell Niti was that when she lost consciousness, the woman was crying. The blue maternity dress was bulging in the middle of her body. She became pregnant before jumping from the 6th floor like any other person from the provinces, struggling to find work, meeting kind people, quitting work, pregnant, no money, no job. She probably had to endure staying here as well. This is probably the reason why I didn't disappear like everyone else..
