Chapter 2 - chapter two- The construction.

Total of 30 indian labourers have reached in my hotel building site from india and also one of my architecture friend that i have hired to make a design for my hotel including the site contractor,so the next day all the labourers started working from the deep scratch foundation work and the work had already started from that day, i used to always visit my hotel site right after my office hour is finished and check with the contractor and ask him about the work and the things that he need to continue the work and where as wangmo was also always engaged with helping me at the hotel site in the day time because i had to go to my office,day by day the hotel started upgrading and the expenditure for the hotel also started to rise and even the labourers they started to give problems like they would give some unreasonable reason saying that their loved ones in their country is sick and they need money to send them and asked more advance,so i used to give them the money because i always try to fit in their shoes and feel their problems but the next day the labour that i gave advance would not be at work,he ran away,the contractor would mention that to me and those things used to make me feel so low that after knowing their problem and helping them at last they would turn their back on me,the bills kept on rising for the hotel materials like the cement,wood,stones,nails,the pipes,tiles and in many other things,and one night i had a talk with my wife,i said wangmo,we started building our hotel from the year 2009 and now its already 2011 and now we are almost at the edge of completing our hotel and i have a very good feeling about that and wangmo replied;yes pekko i am very happy that now after working very hard to built this hotel and now almost completing it,i have a very good feeling about that, so later that evening we had some talks about buying the furnitures for our hotels like chairs,tables,plates,spoon,cups,and many other things for our hotel and we discussed about this for a while and went to sleep,the next month was april 2011,so me and my wife we decided to take a short trip to bangkok leaving our children in the care of one of our cousins and also left our hotel behind in the hands of the contractor and went to thailand to buy the important furnitures and items for our hotel,so we flew to bangkok,thailand,and wangmo was so scared to get into the aeroplane because she have never travelled in any kinds of aeroplane in her life and would tell me that what if the aero plane would fall down from the air when its still flying in the air,and i would make her feel confident saying that to not worry because to get to bangkok we have to fly in the aeroplane and there is no bus or other transportation rather than the aeroplane and there will be many people like us who will be travelling in the same aeroplane so i made her feel comfortable for her worries and once the aeroplane takes off from the run way she would pintch my hands and close her eyes so i used to look at her and laugh at her making some jokes to make her feel happy and comfortable at the same time,and yes we decided to stay 2weeks in bangkok and buyed all the necessary things for our hotel and shipped them through a cargo ship via delhi,for wangmo as she was born in a poor family has never travelled in any other country till now so she was very happy that i took her to bangkok and she was so amazed by the bright lights,the tall skyscraper,the vehicles buzzing all around the city,the big malls where i took her for some clothes shopping and some gifts for our children and for our cousins,but wangmo would be very craved missing our bhutanese tradation food because she was not used to eating the foreign foods before and because she couldnt have a good taste of food of her choice in that country i would always take her to the KFC,the fresh Kentucky chicken and she used to love it,and at some days she didnt knew how to open the censored hotel lock with the card and again i used to laugh at her and teach her how to do it,we had a very good time in bangkok together for the past two weeks eating the KFC for the whole two weeks,travelling to the beautiful beaches,going to watch the reality shows,dressing both of us like a thai women and men and it was a very happy memories for me and my wife,so after 2 weeks we flew back to our country.

It was 2012 and yes we have finished the construction of our hotel and The hotel was very nicely built with all the furnitures starting from spoon till the mattress,the couch,televisions,the kitchen items,lamps,curtains and many other items were all imported from thailand and was installed very nicely and the hotel was ready to be started for all the costumers,but before that we did the opening ceremony in our own bhutanese traditional way by inviting a high ranking monk also called as Lama to do a small ritual for the hotel so that we wont face any problems in the future and also to avoid bad lucks which can harm the newly constructed hotel.

From the month of February 2012 we started running our hotel and many tourists from many other country came to our hotel and was running very smoothly until my uncle who was my fathers younger brother who was working at the same bank from which i took the loan from and his name was 'GYEM,'

From that moment my uncle gyem used to always visit me to my hotel when ever he used to get a free time for himself, and my wife wangmo used to cook good food for him and we used to have a good talk having some good old bhutanese wine together,and one time he was asking me about my hotel and asking how i have managed to buit my hotel,gyem said;pekko you made a very big hotel and its a very big progress for you,how did you managed to get that much amount of money to built such a big hotel by yourself, and i replied;uncle gyem it was a very hard time for me to construct this hotel for the past few years but from the help of the bank and from my saving i finally did it, and again gyem replied;so now as you are all settled with running this hotel with your beautiful wife and the childrens by your side i am very happy for what you have achieved that is something very big as you came from a poor family and now to be called as a hotel owner and a head of department in your work, and i replied;thank you so much uncle for your kind words and please do let me know if you need any kind of help that i may able to do it to help you and being said that my uncle left after the dinner.uncle gyem was a very intelligent man who had a very sharp mind and a player in business,he had one electronic shop in the capital and used to do a real estate business and also was working in the BNB, the national bank of bhutan,from that moment uncle gyem used to always come to my hotel and visit me,sometimes with his friends and sometimes with his girlfriend which i didnt knew he had one because i used to think him as a very sincerely hard working person,but i didnt take that seriously because its his own life and i dont have any reason to blame his for what he is doing and also as a cousin i have never let him down by speaking out any words that might hurt him,some days passed and one time he again came to my hotel when my hotel was very busy filled with guest but still i welcomed him and took him to the bar and opened a bottle of black label and made two glass for us,cheers,and we started drinking,after some few glasses of black label he was little drunk and was sharing me about his girlfriend and gyem said;pekko how do you feel about my girlfriend that i have brought here in your hotel last time isn't she hot and sexy,and i replied with a laugh; haha uncle,yes indeed she was beautiful and young but why are you asking me that,i asked him with a little hesitation and gyem replied;aren't you tired and bored with only sleeping with your wife??you see i can fix a nice,beautiful and hot young chick for you to have fun,and i replied;
