Ever since my hotel became a huge success, after the recording of the program that aired within two weeks and became the "talk of the town"[1], the repercussion was huge. The number of views on YouTube exceeded 5 million in just two days. It went viral more than many popular songs!
"The hotel is so busy that we have reservations for next year, Khun In."
"Make sure to ask for payment in advance. Right now, we need the money before the deadline. If it's only next year, it won't do any good."
I replied, with a satisfied smile upon hearing Arun's answer. Although I was a little irritated by some people who were disliking out of envy and comments saying that it was all a set-up, I decided not to let it get to me. It was better to focus on the good things, like the likes and reservations.
"With the deposits we've already received, can we finally tell my father?"
I asked.
"Yes, we have already reached the required amount."
She replied, with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Then we don't have to wait three months! Let's go see my father now!"
Everyone in the room was smiling, their hearts lightening, especially Arun, which made my heart beat faster, and I couldn't help but wink at her as a sign of understanding.
"Be patient, let's wait a little longer, my love."
"I wait every day."
"Stop speaking your thoughts, how annoying."
Mawin muttered, who was standing with his arms crossed, clearly annoyed.
"Where is Janephop?"
"I sent him to get the refrigerator."
"That huge refrigerator? What are you going to do with it? The hotel is not a mini market, it doesn't match the design."
"Have you made any promises?"
I asked, looking at Mawin. He shake his head, denying it.
"No."
"So, you see, this is part of keeping a promise."
"But seriously, are the ghosts real or not? I remember you saying it was all staged."
I had forgotten Arun was there, and she startled me when she asked the question. I quickly shrugged, trying to divert the conversation, as if it were something from the entertainment world.
"Of course it's staged! We can't do the scene if we don't have the right props."
I said, laughing.
"By the way, have you watched the video?"
"No, I haven't. I was scared just by the description you gave me."
Arun replied, with a nervous tone.
"It's better not to have watched it. On the show, everything was very realistic, especially with the refrigerator as part of the scene. It really made the guests believe the ghosts were real."
"So why a refrigerator? It reminds me of the guy from ManU."
"Because ManU... is the ghost they invented that appeared."
I started making up an excuse without even realizing that when I met that boy in Phuket, Arun BekFah was present at the incident too. I had already told him that ManU was a real ghost.
"Don't ask so many questions, or you'll get scared."
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. And where are you going to put the refrigerator?"
