He always borrow money from his friends and gamble so he can earn fast cash. He wants to be a pro gambler and earn cash on casinos and every gambling thats available. He always dream on becoming rich to buy all he wants, make his parents happy and stop working very hard on factories and lastly to support his sister on her studies. One day while losing his money on an underground casino, he found himself lost on thoughts and just walks on the street, he saw an old man sleeping beside a trash and asking for a dollar to buy some bread. He only have 9$ left on his pocket but still gave the very hungry old man. The old man's eyes glint and said "thank you young man, i wanna tell you something about my life, do you have a minute to listen" After that encounter, John went home and tried to sleep but can't sleep because he's thinking of how to repay his debts. He woke up early on the morning and notices that something is amiss, he feels like he has something different. I'm gonna be rich! i'll prove to everyone that didnt believe me! Sorry guys first time writing a novel here. feel free to give some suggestions and comments. thank you
A man is standing on a balcony, lost on thoughts, and sighing. John Simmon is 24 years old now, dreaming of becoming big and rich one day. He always gamble to earn fast cash but always loses. He doesn't have a job and he always quit if he ever got one because of boredom and the routine work makes him frustrated. He also want a high paying job even though he didnt finish his studies due to financial problems because he is smart and has some pride.
Brother! Are you lost on thoughts again? Someone is looking for you! Claire yelled. John hurriedly ran and escape through their back door and yelled to his sister, tell them i'm not home!
Fuck! Fuck! Im fucked! Why can't they wait? Im still trying to make money. He reached his pocket to see that he still have 14$. Okay, this time, im gonna win! Thinking of his 850$ debt, he's determined to gamble and win.
While running on an alley, he saw those people who are looking for him to pay his debt. He tried to cover his face but they still recognized him.
John! Are you running from your debt again?!!! Come here!! But John ignored it like he didnt hear anyone shouting. This angered Bruno, who's a small time loanshark and a bully on their hometown. Catch him! He ordered his five lackeys. I'm gonna fuck your face if i catch you motherf***er!
John turned on a corner and they went into a house that he didnt know who's house is, luckily no one seems around. After 30 mins of searching, Bruno's lackeys still cant find John so they got off and went back to their boss.
Boss, im sorry we can't find that bastard!
He sure knows how to run fast! Don't worry he can't getaway, we know his house and he can't abandom them. If he doesn't pay me tomorrow, i'm gonna wreck their house! Hehehe.
John is very nervous and still looking for those lackeys if they are still around. Confirming that no one is around, he get off the house but found a woman who's shocked. Thief, help meeeee! The girl screamed!
No, please be quiet, im not a thief, im just hiding at your house because someone is hunting me. Please, don't shout or you'll alarm them, you can also get hurt. The girl realized it and seems to understand John because he doesnt look like a thief, He's not that handsome, but not ugly either. Okay, whats your name and why are they hunting you?
John started to talk about why, and he look at the girl, he stared at girl and found that she's rather beautiful.
Thank you veru much for your understanding, may i know your name? asked John. I'm Windy and please go now before they see you with me, i'll be in trouble if they see. Ah yes, yes, i'll be going then. He's walking on a street and found the underground gambling area. Its just a bungalow house that looked like a normal house. Once he got in, 2 bulky man approached him and asked, what are you doing here? John said i want a chip please. Thats the code so you can enter the underground gambling area. The two bulkyman looked at each other and nodded. John went to the underground floor and the familiar place he always went and became excited.
I'm gonna win today, i need to. He checked his pocket again and there it is his only money is 14$. He always play bacarrat because its simple and sometimes you can check the charts to see a pattern that you can follow. He sat on the 5$ minimum bet and began to place a 5$ bet.
He's very nervous because he only got so little money and he needs to win so he can pay those loansharks. He bet on Player hand because its in on 4 win-streak, he squeezed the card hard so he can see it slowly, the first card is 4 and the 2nd card has no line, so its more likely to be a 1,2 or 3. The second card is 3 so he got 7. The Banker player is frowning because he only got 6, so Player Wins.
This is it, thought John. Nice and slowly. He rolled his money until he won 5 straight. He now has 160$, im fucking lucky today huh! Maybe I can win 1000$ today so i can pay off my debts. On the other hand, the Banker Player is angry because he loses 5 times in a row, glaring at John who's smiling and grinning. He tried to follow John on his 6th bet, John bets 60$ on Banker and opened it, he got 8, and the Player hand got 5 so he won again.
I need fast cash, i need to roll it now, im still lucky, maybe i can win 10 straight and im done with my debt, thinking inwardly. He put all his winning and his 5$ capital, amounting to 220$ on Player. Oh god please help me this time, please, pretty please! The first card is Queen so its equivalent is 10 or 0, the second card has 4 line on it he has a chance to get 9 if he's lucky or 10 if he lucked out. He sighed as he got 10 or 0, praying that the Banker hand got 10 also or 0. The Banker hand got 7 so he still has a chance to win. Then the dealer give him the third card, he squeezed it very hard and he squinted as he saw a 4 line again. It can be 9 or 10 again. If he got 9, he wins, if he got 10, he's gonna go home crying again. As if having powers, John tried to concentrate on the card, praying that it'll be 9 but then, the other player who's following his bet yelled to John, Just hurry and check it you fucking moron! So John got scared and hurriedly check the card, its 10, and John is so ficking pissed he wants to kill the guy who yelled at him.
John walks out of the building, lost on thoughts again and thinking what if he didnt bet all his money, what if he didnt get impatient and play nice and slowly. He sighed and just tried to move on, maybe this is not the day, he sighed again. while he was walking on his way home, thinking on how to repay his debt, he saw an old man beside a pile of trash, asking him for 1$ to buy bread. He still have 9$ on his pocket so he gave the old man 4$.
