Future

The Casino

The sun has now risen with its light starting to creep in through the gaps in the white curtains. Bella who was sleeping soundly now felt disturbed by the sunlight hitting her eyes, she slowly opened her eyes trying to neutralize her slightly blurred vision.

Shit!

Bambi's eyes immediately widened when she realized that she was now not in her apartment room, but in a gray room with a large window on the left showing skyscrapers. Bella quickly looked into the blanket and thankfully she was still wearing her full clothes last night.

Joanna?! Rena?!

Bella immediately looked around looking for the whereabouts of her two best friends but to no avail the very spacious room was only filled with her. Bella held her head trying to remember what happened last night but she couldn't remember anything, it was all vague.

Cklek~

"Marchel!" Bella shouted in a slightly hoarse voice, she was surprised when she saw the man with thick eyebrows entering the room.

"You've woken up apparently" said Marchel who immediately walked closer to Bella who had just sat on the bed.

When Marchel just arrived, Bella immediately stood up from her seat and quickly grabbed Marchel's shirt collar, staring intently at the man with thick eyebrows. 

"What are you doing here damn it?" Bella's Wrath 

Marchel, who was too lazy to fight in the morning, immediately pushed Bella's hand away and then pushed the sweet girl's body and supported her.

“HEY GET OUT OF ME!” Bella shouted loudly

“Shut up! Or I'll rape you right now” Marchel threatened to make Bella not move.

"You have to maintain your manners when you're in my penthouse, Bella Angelica," said Marchel coldly

Bella was surprised by Marchel's statement. "Your penthouse?" Marchel nodded in response then got up and released his grip on Bella .

"How can I be here?" Bella kept asking even though she already knew the reason.

"Drunk"

Bella just nodded in understanding to hear that, if she thought about it, she did drink a lot last night. "Joanna? Rena?" 

"Joanna is in Maikel's room while Rena is downstairs," replied Marchel, who was opening his curtains wide so that sunlight could enter the room. "Take a shower, you smell like alcohol"

Bella was lazy to respond, it would not be finished if she had to argue with Marchel. 

"Borrow your clothes" after that Bella got off the king size bed and walked towards the bathroom that Marchel had shown.

If you think about Marchel and Maikel being siblings who come from rich families, the price of this penthouse is definitely very cheap for the two men's families. 

While David, who is a cousin of the two men, is as rich as the two, the only difference is that David's family is in Bandung, it's no wonder they live together in this very luxurious penthouse.

Bella also comes from a conglomerate family as well but is not as rich as Marchel whose family-owned company occupies the number one position in Jakarta and David's family company ranks number two in Jakarta and number three in Bandung, while Joanna and Rena, who are siblings whose families are equally rich like himself. Their parents knew each other quite well which is why they were allowed to live together in the apartment.

After finishing with her bath, Bella now came out of the bathroom using a bathrobe and walked to Marchel's walk-in closet. Bella was again amazed by the walk-in closet which was so wide and big, she was confused about which clothes to borrow, while all the clothes were limited edition branded items.

'Wow..he really is very rich'

For fear of pocketing all of Marchel's clothes, Bella prefers to wear Marchel's maroon hoodie which will be very large in her small body and then combined with her tight jeans last night because all of Marchel's pants will not fit her body.

Bella came out of the walk-in closet and the first thing she saw was Marchel who was sitting on the sofa by the window reading something from his iPad. Bella walked closer to Marchel and sat on the sofa opposite the man with thick eyebrows.

"Which room is Rena in?" Bella asked openly.

“First floor room near the stairs” Marchel replied without taking his eyes off the tablet he was holding.

Hearing that Bella immediately stood up and walked out of the room. Her eyes are really spoiled by the interior and luxury of this penthouse, even the floor is made of granite. Bella descended the stairs with the occasional look around which was filled with large windows that directly showed views of the capital city as well as the skyscrapers.

"AAAA" the scream managed to make Bella frantic and then opened the room where the sound came from.

BRAK

"NA RENA YOU-" Bella couldn't finish her words, her body suddenly froze when she saw Rena who was under David's arms.

“BELLA ANGELICA, HELP ME!” The scream made Bella immediately realize and then pulled David to release Rena.

David, who felt a little annoyed due to the activity being disturbed immediately left the room. 

Bella immediately helped Rena to get up and gave her a glass of water that was on the nightstand. 

"Are you okay?" Ask Bella slowly

Rena just nodded in response, she was still shocked by the incident earlier. 

Starting with she who had just woken up then was surprised by a room that was not his own and when he saw the cloth attached to his body was not his clothes last night, added to the presence of David who had just come out of the bathroom with wet hair. Until a war broke out between the two due to Rena's misunderstanding. 

They were silent for a long time before they heard the sound of the door closing loudly, coming from the second floor.

"Na Rena! Bella!" The screams filled every side of the penthouse.

Cklek~

"Joanna" Bella and Rena came out of the room and approached Joanna who was in the living room.

"Could you guests not make a fuss at people's homes?" said curtly Marchel who had just come down from the stairs.

Bella, who was initially lazy to see Marchel's face, but when she remembered that the man had helped her last night, despite this she still has a sense of gratitude. 

"We want to go home, thank you for helping," Bella said sincerely.

"Go home, just make trouble for people" Maikel who suddenly appeared from behind Marchel then his gaze glared at Joanna.

"Okay, your car is in the basement" Bella just nodded understanding Marchel's words.

The three of them have just arrived at the apartment, Joanna has been asking herself for a while when she sees Rena who is no longer wearing her clothes last night but a sweater that doesn't belong to anyone.

"Where are your clothes?" asked Joanna who had just landed her butt on the soft sofa.

"Dirty," she replied lazily.             

"Why can?" Asked Bella who was next to Joanna, both of them were now curious

"I got hit by my vomit" Rena's answer managed to draw laughter from Bella and Joanna

Rena glared at the two people in front of her. "Then whose clothes are you wearing now?" Ask both at the same time

“Stop asking! It makes me angry” angry Rena.

Bella and Joanna were shocked when Rena suddenly got angry. "Hey, we just asked, what's so hard for you to answer" Bella said 

“David, are you satisfied?!” After saying that Rena immediately walked up to her room because surely the two children would mock her.

Blam

Rena closed the door loudly venting all her annoyance, after that she went to clean herself.

Finished with cleaning her body, now Rena is standing in a big mirror in her bathroom with a bathrobe attached to her small body. Rena took her toothbrush and toothpaste, but when she saw her reflection in the mirror her eyes fell on her neck where there was a fairly large red rash.

Rena immediately wet her hands with water and then tried to clean the red rash but when she rubbed it the rash didn't go away at all. Slowly her brain thought about the meaning of the fairly large red rash, until Rena's eyes rounded perfectly.

“DAVID KANZLER f*****g f**k!”

***

In this rather hot weather because summer has started, Rena was forced to wear a turtleneck sweater to cover her neck with a kiss Marchel which you can guess is David's doing.

'you will die by my hands tomorrow, David Kanzler'

Rena came out of the room and went down to the first floor towards the dining room where Bella and Joanna were already eating lunch, Rena also joined the two and ate the food they delivered.

Bella, who was busy eating her food, immediately stopped when she saw Rena who had just sat at the dining table, Bella was confused why Rena was wearing a turtleneck sweater when the weather was hot like this

"You're not hot, Ren?" Bella asked while Rena who knew the direction of the question immediately shook her head and returned her focus to her food.

Joanna was also confused as to why Rena was wearing a turtleneck sweater while she and Bella only wore short-sleeved oversized shirts with hot pants. “Why are you wearing a turtleneck sweater in this hot weather?” Joanna asked surprised

"Just want" Rena answered simply.

"But-"

“Shut up! Don't ask again," Rena interrupted who was already annoyed.

Bella and Joanna, who felt that Rena really didn't want to be disturbed, both chose to obey Rena's orders and refocused on devouring each other's food.

After finishing with the lunch program, now the three of them are sitting in front of the television showing the ongoing drama they are participating in, namely 'penthouse s3' drama which will really drain their emotions and brains to think about the theory of each episode.

Rena suddenly thought of the journal of their activities for the coming night. "Where are you going tonight?" Rena asked openly but her eyes remained fixed on the television in front of her.

"I don't want to go to the circuit," Bella answered quickly. 

“Casino 127?” Joanna's offer

"Deals!" Answer Bella and Rena at the same time

'JOO SEOK KYUNG!'

On the other hand

The three men who were in the playing room, Marchel and Maikel who were playing billiards while David was the judge of the second game with his hand holding a glass of wine.

“Want to go to the Casino?” Asked Maikel who was busy poking the ball.

David took a sip of his wine and then put his glass on the mini bartender's table there. "Yes," he answered.

“Casino 127?” Bargain Marchel who points his stick at the ball 8.

Not

"Deals!" Say the other two agree

The game ended with Marchel as the winner.

Bella, Joanna, and Rena just parked their car in the basement. When they entered the casino, they were immediately approached by an employee they already knew.

"Welcome sweet girl" said the employee friendly

"Are they here too?" Ask Rena

The employee who had a name tag that read 'Rehan' nodded. 

"They are in Texas Hold'em, let me take them" replied Rehan who immediately led the three women to the Texas Hold'em table.

When he arrived at the Texas Hold'em table there were already three tall men with masks covered by faces known as the 'princes of darkness' already seated in the players' chairs with the Dealer at the far end of the table.

“Want to play, dude?” Rena asked challenging a man who wore a red Mahogany mask and was taller than the three men, he was definitely Rena's enemy from a year ago.

The challenged man nodded then opened the hardcase box and took out two bundles of 50,000 won. “One billion won” the man immediately gave the money to the Dealer which would be exchanged into poker coins.

Rena who was annoyed with that without thinking she immediately took out one credit card and gave it to the Dealer. "Two hundred million won" Bella and Joanna rolled their eyes perfectly because Rena unsparingly gave her credit card.

Brave as usual

After the poker coins were obtained the game began, Rena put down half of her poker coins while the masked man had almost half of what he had. The game goes on in a gripping state, Rena almost runs out of poker coins while her opponent proposes Raise.

Damn! If I don't join the call then he will win.

Inevitably Rena had to raise Raise until she had to fold. Rena was annoyed with the man in front of her, plus the credit card she bet was all of her pocket money.

“You're really annoying, asshole!” Rena immediately stood up and left from there.

The three of them went to the bartender, at first Bella and Joanna refused but Rena persisted and instead forced them both.

“Give me a cocktail,” Rena said to a bartender.

Bella and Joanna just stared lazily at Rena who already looked annoyed. Not long after that, the cocktail that Rena asked for was served on the table.

Without waiting any longer, Rena finished the cocktail with just one gulp, the other two rolled their eyes when Rena, who had just finished her cocktail, blinked.

"Add more" Rena said to the bartender

The next glass was served again on the table, when Rena wanted to take the glass, Joanna held her hand first. 

“Calm down, girl. You can die if you drink one more time” said Joanna trying to restrain Rena.

"I'll help you get your credit back, card" said Bella who immediately went back to the Texas Hold'em table.

The three masked men who had been busy talking to each other were surprised by Bella's arrival. "I want to bet, if I win, return my friend's credit card" Bella bravely.

"What are you going to bet?" asked the man in the black mask looking straight at the bear's eyes.

Bella thought for a moment but when she looked back she had nothing but her car that brought them here. With determination, Bella immediately put her car keys on the table, Rena and Joanna who saw that immediately pulled Bella back.

"Yeah, don't be crazy, you are" Joanna said sarcastically

"This is all I have, did you bring money?!" Joanna immediately shook her head, because their initial agreement was that only Rena would play. As a result, a week ago Joanna played by betting her Bugatti motorbike on a man wearing a navy blue mask and ended in defeat.

"But if you lose, how will we go home?" Rena asked a little worried

"I will try to win" the three returned to the poker table.

"Ready?" asked the man in the black mask, Bella nodded in response. Although it had been more than a year that they had often met in casino games or racing circuits, Bella felt familiar with the voices of the three masked men.

"But I don't want to play this," Bella said suddenly.

Joanna and Rena immediately looked at Bella confused, what exactly was the bear man planning. "Then what do you want to play?" asked the man in the navy blue mask.

"Baccarat" the masked man immediately agreed to Bella's request and then moved to the Baccarat table.

The two of them are now sitting in front of the Baccarat table with Rehan who works as a dealer who will manage the game. Before the cards were dealt Bella and the masked man took a position between player or banker, after unanimous agreement Bella took the position of banker and the masked man as player.

Rehan immediately shuffled the cards and gave two to the player's box and two more to the banker's box, after both parties got their cards the dealer immediately opened their second card.

I regret the bet

Bella gets a spade card worth 3 and 2 while the masked man gets a Jack card and a club card worth 8, if it is calculated the masked man is the winner because the card points he has are closest to 9 or it can be said to be pure victory.

Because the masked man gets a card with 8 points then he must stand or cannot add cards. Meanwhile, Bella also cannot add cards because the points from her cards are 5.

The masked man automatically won the game, Bella already looked very upset and cursed herself for defending her favorite BMW car.

"You lose, say goodbye to your car," said the masked man triumphantly.

“f**k you Black king!” Bella immediately stood up and left the Casino with an annoyed face.

Joanna and Rena just followed where Bella was walking and stopped right in front of a cafe not too far from where they started.

Bella immediately took her cellphone to call the family's private driver to pick them up at the cafe where they stopped.

Bella's movements never escaped the sight of Joanna and Rena, even when the child called the driver, both of them only snorted softly. They're so unlucky today.

"I told you not to play anymore but you seem sure you can beat them" Rena said openly

Bella snorted softly when she heard that, it was true what Rena said. They always lost every bet with the prince of darkness and it was a miracle if they won.

"The credit card floated, the car was carried away too," Bella whispered, lamenting her truly sad fate

Joanna couldn't do much other than rub the shoulders of the two kids who had to lose their favorite thing tonight.

"What are you going to say to Bella's uncle and aunt?" Ask Joanna

"My car is in the repair shop," Bella replied, getting hit on the head instead.

"Yeah, you think you can just fool your Daddy?!" Joanna's wrath to see her friend's stupidity

"Then what should I answer?" Bella asked frustrated

"Tell the truth" said Rena, both of them looked directly at Rena

"Yes, you want me to be killed by Mama?!" Bella who was already annoyed was annoyed again by Rena's suggestion

"You have no other choice, Bella. And for you Joanna, I already know what happened to your motorbike. Of course, I will also be affected,” said Rena who had completely surrendered.

Drt~

Mama

Tomorrow after school go straight home, Mama misses you

That's the message Bella got from her mother, not long after that the driver Bella asked for came to take them back to the apartment.

Drt! Drt!

The sound came from Joanna's trouser pocket, when she reached into the thin square object, the name 'father' was already written on the screen of her cell phone.

"Hello, Dad," said Joanna, attracting Rena's attention.

'where are you guys?'

"W-we're on our way home" Joanna replied nervously

'with Bella's chauffeur?' Joanna was surprised when her father found out that they were going home using Bella's chauffeur

"Y-yes"

'Where did you guys come from? Where's your car?'

"W-we finished our group study at the cafe near the cafe, C-car...we're still at the workshop" the answer was a lie, while the other two just massaged the bridge of their nose which continued to throb.

'Oh, I see. Tomorrow come home, your mother will whine if you don't come home'

"Yes"

After that, the phone line was disconnected. They can only surrender to what will happen tomorrow.

' good kids'
