His friend rushed into the room immediately. “Raymond, what happened? Why are you shouting?”
Raymond turned the phone toward him with wide eyes. “My brother, I won. I won the game.”
His friend’s eyes widened. “How much?”
Raymond’s voice cracked with joy. “Two million dollars.”
His friend shouted too. He grabbed Raymond and shook him.
“Ah, Raymond, this is big! This is a blessing! Thank God!”
Raymond laughed and nodded quickly. “You see? I told you to play, but you refused. If you had played, you would have won too.”
His friend smiled. “It’s okay, brother. A win for one is a win for all. We will still celebrate.”
Then the friend said, “Let me go and get red wine from the store. We must celebrate this.”
Raymond’s face brightened. “Okay, my brother.”
The friend left the house.
Raymond sat down again, still smiling like a man in a dream. He looked around the room, then his eyes fell on the small bar area in the house. There was already a bottle of red wine there.
He frowned.
“But we already have red wine here,” he said to himself.
