First of all, I have to ask for an introduction. that the following story It's not fiction, but it's not entirely true. But it is something that has happened and there are some parts that Ray Add a little more egg color to increase the fun of reading. (Want to be a writer but don't know where to start? Let me start with my own story.

Please give your feedback and encouragement to Ray in the comments.)

This story happened around 2011. Ray and three other friends, B.A. and O. We were kids from the provinces. After the semester break, we wanted to earn extra income, so I asked O's mother who lives in Bangkok to help me find a part-time job. We received good news before the semester break. O's mother, Mae Nim, called to say that there was a restaurant in the mall where he worked that needed 4 part-timers.

We're lucky, right? Just thinking about working can do it.

Date of departure for Bangkok The four of us rode in a pickup truck with a rectangular pen with a roof. Ray's friends didn't seem too excited. Because they had been to Bangkok before, but Ray, let's not talk about Bangkok. This is Ray's first time leaving the province. After nearly five hours of driving, we reached our destination.

Bangkok, which everyone says is a Sriwilai city, is probably true. The buildings are so big and imposing.

“We've arrived, son. Come in, Mom has food waiting for you. Come early, come eat food and drink water. After you eat, Mom will take you to your room.” Mae Nim, Nid's mother. He greeted us and called us to eat. The three or four dishes that you prepared for us made Ray's tears well up in his heart. Even though I'm far away from my father and mother, meeting me like this makes me feel quite at ease.

After we finished eating, Mae Nim took us to our room. This building is a blue shophouse with three floors. There is only one staircase going up in the middle of the building. We live on the second floor. When we went up the stairs, our room was on the left. Open the room door. It's an open room. There is a window with shutters next to the front door.

and a shuttered window at the back door of another room Open the back door of the room and there will be a small balcony. Walk into the bathroom. The balcony was closed with a steel mesh that looked completely sturdy and tight. Regarding safety, we don't have to worry about someone secretly breaking in.

“How can I have enough room? The cost of the room is only 1,600 baht, I think around here. This building is the cheapest. If it's okay, mom will call and tell the owner of Pen's room that she wants this room."

“Yes, Mom, I think this room is yours. Masu brought four hundred each and gave it to Mom to pay for the room.” It was O who agreed with Mom. While the three of us were exploring the room.”

“Kratua, here is yours, Kabee.” A handed a thousand baht to O.

“No, no, I don't have to give it to my mother yet. Keep it for use before the kids get the money out. Mom's room fee will be paid before the money comes out. Let's bring it back to mom."

"But Mom, just like this, we've already disturbed you many times," A told Mae Nim with concern.

“I don't care. Our mother is not in poverty. Moreover, our father drives a taxi and earns money for every meal. Mother gave it to me first. They'll have money to eat so they won't have to call and disturb Mom and Dad at home, right Mom?" O said to us as he turned to say goodbye to Mae Nim.

“Well, you don't have to be considerate. Work hard and don't let Mom lose face." Mae Nim said and smiled at us in a kind manner.

“Yes, Mother,” we all answered in unison. And I feel very grateful for Mother Nit's kindness.

“Why don't you just bring blankets and clothes? If you don't have any items in the bathroom, go take them to your mother's room and use them first. Oh, let's go with Mom.” After noticing what we were missing, Mae Nim called for me to bring it to her room to use first. In conclusion, there were many things lacking, so the four of us had to walk back to Kong Mae Nim again to carry supplies to the room.

Well, Ray forgot to mention the walkway that leads from the front of the hotel room to the stairs. This walkway is a long, narrow walkway. To walk from the front of the building to the stairs in the middle is about 50 meters, and the narrowness is really very narrow. So narrow that you can't walk side by side. We have to walk in a line. When the door was opened, a steel leak came in.

On the left is the back wall of the three-story building we are in. To the right is a very high solid wall, probably about 3 meters high, and the only light we can see is a single bulb at the entrance to the stairs. To be honest, it's not bright enough. You can still use the word "not bright" at all. Street lights help us even more.

Reading up to here gives you an uncomfortable feeling, right? Yes, it felt really uncomfortable.

before continuing to tell about the surrounding atmosphere Ray would like to explain the appearance of the four of us first. As dancers at our school, we are all beautiful and in good shape, hehe. B.O. and Ray have almost the same height and weight, around 47 cm and no more than 160 cm tall, but Chao A

She will be the tallest in the group, probably close to 170 centimeters. This guy is in great shape.

Let's come back to the present. When Mae Nim prepared all the supplies for us. He didn't walk to deliver me because the buildings were not far from each other. Besides, it's very late and we don't want to disturb you any more. That night, around 1:00 a.m., the four of us were all carrying a lot of stuff. A carried a mat woven from Tonlai trees and walked first. Oh holds two pillows. Follow the second person

B carried two pillows and a curtain around her neck. Rei himself carries a yellow bucket (the type used to offer offerings to monks). In the bucket that Rei holds, there are various water bowls and glasses. Walking at the end of the procession As for the friends, they carried bags of food and other things besides what Ray had just described. Everyone has no free hands.

When everyone finished entering the leak, Ray closed the gate while his friends were standing there waiting. The atmosphere at that time was quiet. Quiet, very quiet We could only look at each other in dismay. I have to say first that our group is quite active. As for mysterious things and children's activities, they already belong together.

Everyone probably knows each other. That's it. Ray and his friends are the same. We automatically know each other. If you are in a risky situation that you will encounter. But every time a situation arises People who don't see it will always find reasons and scientific principles to refute it with their friends. (Actually, I believe it, but I do it to fake my own morale and not cause my friends to be intimidated.)

After closing the door and walking down the path for a few steps, Chao A suddenly stopped. “Why did you stop?” was O who was the first to ask. A didn't answer, she stared at something through the darkness. Until it made Ocha look away and look up in the direction that A was looking. "Oh" was quiet, there was no answer from O. "Oh"

A's voice called O again, but louder than the first time. “Um,” O replied this time. “Oh, you look like him, right?” “Um, I see.” The sound of two people talking made Bee look up and follow the two of them. “B, do you see each other?” It was A who followed B with the calmest voice, “Um, I see,” and B responded in a tone that was not very good.

If you see it, let's take the lead.” I heard that all my friends saw it. Ray also tried to watch. But with a narrow path And A's height was blocking him, combined with the darkness, Ray himself couldn't see anything. But my friend didn't let Ray wonder for long. Because as soon as the sound was heard, the three Rays started running without thinking of their lives.

At that time, Ray admitted that he was shocked and rushed to catch up with his friend, so he didn't pay attention and turned to look at what his friend said he saw. When they reached the stairs, Ray ran over to Bee and quickly grabbed the end of the curtain that Bee had wrapped around her neck. "Bee, wait for me too. Why are you all running?" Ray said and ran. “Rei, don't pull. Hurry, let go of me, I can't breathe.”

You stop and wait for me. Don't run too fast." "No, you can't. You have to run fast." After saying this, B started running up the stairs. Without Ray himself refusing to let go of the cloth. What will be released? If you can't let go of Ray's hand in time, you'll be left alone. While running up the stairs The bucket that Ray was hanging from was rubbing against the chain tied to the railing.

A loud noise, like someone hitting something with a chain. Ray's friends screamed a lot. At that time, I was confused. And I think that my friends have messed up and manipulated each other a lot. Getting up to the second floor was quite chaotic.

When Ray Kabi went up to the second floor Okaei just finished unlocking the room key. Ray was the last to enter the room and bolted the door. and was confused by the attitude of the three friends They sat trembling, looking at each other back and forth, not speaking, then nodding at each other. to confirm something “What's wrong with you guys? They're running around making a noise.

I'm so shocked. Don't blame me. Let's see what happened." Ray asked as he walked to sit with his friends in the middle of the room. “Can't say, can't. Go to bed first,” A replied in a calm voice and put everyone to sleep. But everyone sat quietly looking at each other. In the meantime, suddenly! Scream! As soon as there was a loud noise at the door, the three of them screamed at the same time. To be honest, Ray was shocked.

I was startled by the sound of their screams. When I turned around to see the loud noise, it was the sound of the door latch because Ray didn't turn it down when closing. “What's wrong with you? It's just a door lock. When we bolted, we didn't put the head down." Ray said while laughing. "Lie down on the mat. Ray, if he's not afraid of himself, just sleep on the edge over there." It was Bee who spoke.

Tonight's story is strange, because we were making such a big fuss, why didn't anyone come out to watch? Even though in the morning there were people in every room, or maybe it was because it was late and everyone else in the room was asleep. "B.B. Aren't you taking a shower? You haven't even taken a shower yet." "Rei, don't bother me. I want to take a shower with you." I'm not going to take a shower. I'm going to sleep. You hurry up and go to bed. Tomorrow I have to wake up early.

And I can stop wondering, what's going on tomorrow? We'll talk about it." What's the point of being irritated? Go to bed and sleep.

The next morning, the situation of friends who had sent Ray to sleep. But why do they look like they haven't slept at all? "Tell me, what happened last night?" Ray asked his friends after coming out of the bathroom. "Ray didn't see Eli last night." It was B who asked Ray back. “I guess when they ran away, they followed along in a confused manner. What's the conclusion?"

Can you see it on the balcony behind the room? Every room is completely closed. No one can sit and hang or something will come out, right?" “Last night he saw legs protruding from the wall like a person sitting cross-legged in a department store. At first we thought he was blind so we stopped looking and asked Ekabi to be sure.”

Yes, we saw the same thing. Bee also saw it, right?" O finished speaking and then turned to ask Bee further. "I'm sure you can see it." "Are you sure it's the pants or the cloth that they hang out to dry? The room there might not have a steel net like our room." "Rei this morning went down to check on A. Every room has the same net.” Oh replied with a serious expression.

So what do we do? Are they okay with staying here?” Ray asked his friend because he was worried that his friend would be so scared that he wouldn't be able to stay. "He was only able to stay there last night and didn't notice a ghost. If it weren't for different people, I'd be damned." It was A who spoke up. "He can stay, but there's a condition that we have to leave the room together. Can we enter the room together?" Oh began to offer.

This means that even if someone comes to work at noon, they have to wake up to leave their room at 9 a.m. at the same time, while people who leave work at 7 p.m. must wait to return to their room. At 9:00 p.m. at the same time, right?” Actually, Ray didn't have anything to do with it. Just thinking about it made him feel like it would be tiring or not. “Take it, just as O said, he agreed.” It was B who added. “Okay, then agree to that,” A concluded quickly.

Yes, and for the three months that we were part-time there, the four of us worked together. Come back to the room together. For Ray himself, he felt tired and thought that what his friends saw might not be a ghost. But I agreed to follow my friend for his friend's comfort. Because there were many times when friends gave in to Ray's wishes for Ray's comfort as well.

Every time I think of this, he misses me very much.

My best friend.

P.S. For the language and self-representation of friends in the group. We call ourselves "Kao, We, Hao, Ku" instead of another person, "To Tua U". Each word tells what kind of mood the speaker is in. And most of us use Isaan language. There will be times when things are serious or a bit formal, they will use common language.

Please be kind to all four of us. Ray still has many stories to tell. If you want to read again, read this story to the end and leave a comment with Ray as well. Thank you for reading until the end.
