"Then we go first!" said Riko who then came out of the room with Andrew and Dion.
"I'll take a shower first," said Clara, who then went straight to the bathroom. Leaving Carolina and Vera together in bed.
"Carol," called Vera. "Hm," replied Carolina.
"How is the relationship between you and Dion?" asked Vera. She had decided to ask first rather than say it outright.
Carolina was silent for a moment, "I don't think we're that close to discussing this," she thought.
"Yeah, just an ordinary friend," said Carolina finally. After all, she and Dion are just friends.
"How about with Andrew?" asked Vera again. Seeing their behavior in the car when Andrew picked up Carolina it felt like there was something between them.
"The same, we are normal friends. Just like I'm friends with Riko, with Clara, also with you, right?" asked Carolina with a smile.
Vera was a little embarrassed when Carolina asked this.
"T-That's good then," replied Vera finally.
The silence returned between the two of them, until finally the bathroom door opened, indicating that Clara had finished taking a shower.
"I'll go first!" said Vera. Carolina, who is busy with her cell phone, just nods.
"Yeah, they are friends, there's no way Dion is like that," thought Vera who finally decided not to say what she saw.

"Carol! Do you want to go to the club using that?" Clara asked when she saw Carolina coming out of the bathroom with hotpants and a loose top.
"Yeah, why?" Carolina asked back who saw Clara and Vera wearing clothes that are opposite to her, they are wearing dresses!
"Did you not hear what Andrew said? We're going to club at the hotel! " said Clara, suddenly embarrassed by Carolina's appearance.
"Ohh, is it different?" asked Carolina innocently. As someone who spends her daily life in boarding rooms, Carolina really doesn't know anything. She only wears her clothes after searching for information on the internet.
"It's different! Duh, if we are clubbing at a beach club or some kind of rave party, you can use it like that. Clubbing also has a dress code, Carol! Good thing I brought more dresses, wait a minute," Clara scolded and then took out the dress she had put back in the suitcase. Clara did bring along some of the clothes she might need for the club.
"It should be just right, but you're tall, maybe the dress will look short. Try it first! " said Clara handing her a black dress with low cleavage.
Clara herself wore a knee-length, low-slit red dress with split thighs, while Vera wore a black mini dress that was translucent on the thighs and upper abdomen.
"Wow! Carol! Your feet make me jealous," said Clara when Carolina finished wearing her clothes.
"Thanks, isn't this too short? The cleavage too," said Carolina, feeling uncomfortable. When she pulled at the slit of her dress, her thighs were more exposed, but when she pulled down, she was afraid that her chest would be exposed.
"It is just like that! So you mean Clara deliberately gave you a dress that would embarrass you? Even though Clara was kind enough to tell you that your clothes were in the wrong place," said Vera, smoothing her hair.
Clara stared at Carolina for a moment, before finally getting back to putting makeup on her face.
Carolina just stared in disbelief at Vera. Didn't Vera open up to her a little earlier? Why now that woman again wants to sabotage herself who is getting close to Clara?
"Thanks, Ra!" said Carolina finally. But Clara just nodded and now started tidying her hair.
***
Carolina was amazed when she first entered the club. Loud music, sparkling lights, the smell of alcohol, people dancing on the dance floor, she even saw a foreigner kissing.
She immediately felt dizzy and was sure that this is not her place!
Suddenly she missed the bed in her boarding house...
"Come here!" said Clara, pulling Carolina's hand when she saw Carolina just dumbfounded.
"Don't be idle! Later you will be accompanied. Didn't you see that the guy at 9 o'clock is coming to see you soon?" said Clara who can still be heard by Carolina.
"Ah, yes. Thank you, "
"Wow, Ladies," said Riko when he saw the women approaching them.
"You guys look stunning shimmering splendid!" praised Dion when they finally sat down.
The club seating design is in the form of a semicircle facing each other and up to 3 people each on each side with a table in the middle.
Andrew and Riko sat in the corner of each seat while Dion sat in the same seat as Andrew. So there is a distance of 1 person between them.
Vera was the first to immediately place herself between Dion and Andrew.
Carolina and Clara, who were a little late, ended up sitting in the same seat as Riko, with Carolina in the middle and Clara at the end.
"Carol, exchange please," said Riko. Carolina, who was not comfortable with the current atmosphere, nodded, at least it was okay to be in a corner, although it was still a little awkward to face Andrew.
"What do you ladies want to order as an opening drink?" asked Riko who was about to call the waiter again. The three of them who had arrived earlier had ordered an appetizer drink.
"I'm Margarita," said Clara, who was getting busy with her cell phone to update ig story.
"Do you often clubbing?" Riko was a little surprised by Clara's drink.
"No," replied Clara, who was busy with her cell phone.
"How about you, Carol?" asked Riko
"Water?" asked Carolina innocently with blinking her eyes. Andrew who was in a bad mood smiled at that, he almost forgot that his Carolina was an innocent woman.
Riko who heard that also laughed.
"Oh my stomach, why pay so dearly Carol if you just ordered mineral water. Is there water, by the way? " asked Riko who was still laughing.
"There is! You are the one who always wants to get drunk," said Andrew. Meanwhile, Carolina just smiled shyly at their conversation.
"Carol just ordered a beer," said Andrew finally.
"It's a real loss just drinking beer, what is suitable, hmm ..." asked Riko back.
"What about Tequila Rose? The alcohol content is not high," Dion suggested.
Vera looked at Dion suspiciously, but she immediately brushed off the thought.
"I'm also Tequila Rose," said Vera, who deliberately wanted to order the same drink. If Dion is what she thinks. She will not smooth out the man's plan.
"This is also paid for because I didn't tell anyone what I saw. So at least the chance of success is 50 percent," thought Vera.
Before the waiter left, Vera added, "As well as bring the one that was ordered before, on behalf of Vera."
"Do you order something, Ve?" asked Clara. But Vera just smiled and didn't answer. Not getting an answer from Vera, Clara was busy returning to her cell phone. She started to activate the live ig feature.
When their drink came, Vera stared at that drink. There is no difference between the two drinks, from the glass or in their contents.
"Look guys, the drink we ordered has arrived," said Clara, who highlighted their drinks and then began to be busy again highlighting one by one her friends.
"Am I wrong, huh?" thought Vera who took the glass closest to her.
"Here! Just drink a little! " said Andrew, who took the other glass and handed it to Carolina.
"Yes, thanks," Carolina replied and took a sip of her drink.
Suddenly the waiter came back to them with a cake with a burning candle.
Seeing that, Vera started to sing happy birthday, and Clara, who was still live, started pointing her camera at Andrew.
"Make a wish first, ndre!" said Vera who was holding the birthday cake.
Andrew then started to close his eyes, "Until now I still feel that Carol is the best woman, if we are not matched, give me something that can really make me give up, because her refusal this time is not enough to make me give up."
After making a silent wish, Andrew opened his eyes and blew out the candles.
"Happy Birthday, Andrew!" said Vera who then thrust her cheek to do kissing on both cheeks.
"Happy Birthday, bro!" said Dion who stretched out his hand, followed by Clara and Carolina.
"Happy Birthday, Ndrew! Here, drink! Bottoms up! " said Riko then gave a glass that had been filled with a drink.
"Thank you!" said Andrew and took the glass and finished it in one gulp. He then turned the glass over his head to indicate that the drink had run out.
Meanwhile, not far from their place…
There were two men who were staring at the group of people who seemed to be celebrating birthdays. One of them smiled slyly.
"She drank it!" he thought with a satisfied smile.
