Upon exiting the clothing store clutching several garment bags, Dara caught the attention of the haughty shop assistant next door, who stared agape, blinking several times in disbelief. They still marveled at the contrast in Dara's appearance and the purchases in her grasp.
"Blast it, turns out she's wealthy. Had I known, I would have treated her nicely. Drat, I just gave the competition the chance to make a hefty sale," grumbled the shop assistant, eyeing the rival shop's attendant, who beamed with the joy of a successful sale.
Surely, envy was natural, for prices at that shop were on par with where they worked. Considering Dara's haul, undoubtedly she'd bought more than a single pair of items.
...
Having climbed into a taxi idling in front of the row of shops, Dara took the shop assistant's advice to reach the nearest Central Bank since it was quite a distance away.
Before leaving the shopping complex and getting into the taxi, Dara stopped by the public restroom. There, she transferred her newly purchased clothing, her old clothes, and others into a dimensional space.
"Take me to the Handphone sales center, please," Dara instructed the driver, intending to prioritize getting a mobile phone first.
Thinking a phone was of immediate importance - so she could learn everything unknown to her via the device - Dara then purchased two iPhone 14 Pro Maxes at 22 million each.
The mobile salesperson was naturally thrilled to sell two of the most prestigious phones.
When Dara asked for instructions on how to use them, the salesperson didn't hesitate to assist. With just one explanation, Dara grasped how to operate them.
...
Dara then took another taxi to the nearest Central Bank.
"We've arrived, miss," announced the taxi driver.
"How much is it?" Dara inquired.
"Thirty thousand," the driver replied.
"Here, please keep the change as a small fortune for your wife and children at home," Dara handed over a one hundred thousand bill, lacking smaller denominations.
With her new attire, Dara was well received everywhere. Opening a new account went smoothly too, much to the shock of the bank staff, as Dara planned to deposit a check worth 500 billion.
"Miss, for such a large check, it can only be processed by the Branch Director. Please, follow me to the Director's office," said the customer service representative.
"Certainly, lead the way," Dara responded.
Moving toward the Director's office, the manager was nervous, knowing the amount Dara wanted to deposit into her new account and not wishing to offend someone of her caliber.
"Please, have a seat, Miss Addara. I am Fadli, the Branch Director here," Fadli introduced himself.
"Thank you, and nice to meet you, Mr. Fadli," Dara replied.
"Miss, for the funds drawdown, we have a few procedures to follow..." Fadli began explaining.
Dara listened closely and opted to deposit the check amount into her newly opened platinum account.
"Miss, might I suggest we issue you an Amex card? With your substantial wealth, it can facilitate transactions or purchases up to a 300 thousand USD limit per transaction, equivalent to about 4.4 billion," Fadli proposed confidently, suspecting her wealth exceeded even that amount. He was correct, and he might faint if he ever learned the true extent of Dara's wealth in her dimensional space.
Dara pondered deeply; she might not need significant expenditures now, but who knows about the future?
"Please, detail the benefits and usage of the card, Mr. Fadli," Dara requested.
"Certainly. The Amex or American Express, often referred to as the Black Card, is exclusive to the wealthy, celebrities, or high-income officials.
The benefits include:
1. VIP access at select venues or events\, such as front-row seats at major concerts or strategic locations.
2. Elite guest status at luxury hotels.
3. Various concessions like postponing checkout times or receiving room upgrades.
4. Access to Centurion Lounges at all international airports.
5. Elite status car rental. American Express is accepted for the Centurion car program offering luxury car rental services at attractive prices.
6. With each credit card use\, one reward point is earned.
7. Access to the most luxurious cabins on cruise ships.
8. Exclusive shopping closure for private experiences.
9. Invitations from renowned brands.
Registration is set at 10 thousand USD, or about 148 million.
And... so on... so forth..." Fadli continued at length.
(This is just fiction, folks, please don't bully 🙏 Truthfully, the author doesn't own such a divine class card, hence isn't sure of the specifics 🤭 since in real life, it isn't that easy to obtain a Black Card 😅)
"Indeed, acquiring it would be beneficial, and I would be endlessly grateful for your assistance, Mr. Fadli. But what if my daily expenses exceed the maximum limit?" Dara asked with sincere yet distinguished poise.
"I am more than pleased to assist you, miss. As for the maximum limit, I will endeavor to increase it for you. Please sign these application forms, and may I have your phone number, miss? I will notify you once the card is ready, which could take between two weeks to a month," Fadli offered.
"Of course, my number is 08xxxxxx...Excuse me, where do I sign?" Dara inquired.
"Right here and also here as proof of the fee deduction from your new account for the Amex card issuance," Fadli directed.
"Mr. Fadli, could I ask you to transfer the funds from this card to my new account? I received this card from Red Jewelry as well," Dara requested.
"Sure, as long as you remember the ATM pin, miss," Fadli said.
After completing the creation of her bank account, cashing the check, transferring funds, and applying for the Amex card, Dara hastened home.
But not before purchasing a mountain bike for Dimas' transportation in the village, which cost 2.4 million. She didn't forget to buy a stove and gas, and also two packs of Padang rice with rendang, to take back home.
