When Ruby entered the club, she heard the sound of music ringing loudly in her ears. Colorful lights began to interfere with her vision.
"How can I find that woman named Vanetta here, if the lights are colorful and keep spinning? What's there is actually making people dizzy!" Ruby continued talking to herself in annoyance.
She kept her eyes on her as she walked through the crowd of people.
"But, why does visiting here look weird? Aish, never mind! Why do I care about them?"
When Ruby passed several tables there, suddenly her gaze fell on a familiar figure in her eyes. She immediately stopped in her tracks, staring intently while remembering.
"Isn't she the woman in the cafe?"
Ruby began to remember, the woman was Roselyn, a cafe guest who was given a package by a grandmother.
Now she's here too! What is he doing at this club? Should she go to Roselyn?
Ruby hesitated a little. But she didn't know Roselyn, it would be awkward if she now came to Roselyn and joined her.

Reino finally arrived at a classic-style building. He scanned the surroundings of the building. As he recalled, he never knew there was a nightclub on this street. Once again he checked his cell phone to make sure that the address listed on his GPS was correct. With unsteady steps he entered the door of the nightclub he was headed for. He glanced around the club. An ordinary club he shouldn't have gone to. He looked strangely at the people present in the club.
"What the hell is going on here?!" he cursed.
Reino looked annoyed to see people wearing strange costumes like people who lived in ancient civilizations. He seemed to be watching a school prom night costume party. He was really annoyed why he had to enter this club. His mood got worse even more as he sat at the bar, he saw the couple to his right. The man was making small changes to conquer the girl's heart. Reino didn't care who they were. He only focused on his goal tonight was to find out who the grandmother in his dream was. And coincidentally, yesterday the grandmother appeared to be talking to one of her interns in front of the shop.
"Shit!!! Where's that granny?!" Again he cursed in annoyance, he looked for the grandmother who yesterday talked to the girl recommended by Juan. It was his high curiosity for the grandmother that made him end up at this club.
Once again Reino looked around the club, but he couldn't find the grandmother in his dream. To calm his anger, he tried to temper it by ordering a drink from the bartender in front of him.
"Liqueurs please!" Reino shouted to the bartender in front of him.
He deliberately ordered a drink with a low alcohol content because he didn't want to get too drunk when he got home. Usually, he always chooses a drink with a high alcohol content to relieve his heart trauma which sometimes appears suddenly, also when the 14th is over. To quell his disappointment because his hopes were again gone, the next day he used to drink three to five cans of beer at one time at his house. He has a stock of canned beers in his fridge. But this time he had to choose a lighter one, considering he had to go home knowingly because he had to drive his car.
Reino took a long look at the decorations on the club wall while waiting for his drink order to be prepared by the bartender. In his heart, he complained 'why does the bartender in this club take so long to make a drink that should be easy.'
Quite confusing decor for a nightclub. Lots of paintings and small ornaments hanging on the club walls.
'Ah, maybe the owner of this club is so eccentric that he collects ancient things' thought, Reino. But a moment later his eyes fell on the decorations which made his memory drift to the contents of the fairy tales his mother used to tell him when he was a child.
Butterfly.
There is a decoration on the wall in the shape of a beautiful butterfly. Not an ordinary decoration from his point of view, because if you look closely, it is not an ordinary butterfly. It was as if the head of the butterfly was a beautiful girl wearing a small crown on top of her head.
"Princess Vanetta…" he muttered.
"Enjoy it..." the voice of the bartender holding out a glass of drink interrupted Reino's gaze at the decoration on the club wall.
Reino angrily gulped down the drink in front of him. One whole gulp with no residue.
"Damn it! What drink is this?!" Reino cursed naturally. An unpleasant taste lingered on his tongue. He had never tasted his favorite alcoholic drink so bitter on his tongue. It was like drinking his father's herbal aches and pains that he had tasted when he was a child.
Reino was really pissed off tonight. He vowed to take his frustration out on Ruby tonight if only he could find her right now for pointing her in the wrong place. The bitter taste on his tongue still bothered his taste buds, he tried to get rid of it by lighting a cigarette. The smoke rising from his mouth still couldn't get rid of the bitter taste on his tongue.
"To hell with drunkenness! more, please!!!" Reino couldn't stand the bitter taste on his tongue anymore until he ordered a high-alcohol drink in sufficient quantity to subvert his body. He no longer thought about the side effects after drinking vodka which would cause him to be completely drunk.
'Why did I get to this place, just for the sake of my curiosity about the granny who came to my dream!' Reino grumbled looking annoyed at his stupidity coming to a foreign place like this.
Not long after, the bartender thrust a shot of drink in front of Reino. Again he was annoyed with the service of the bartender at this club. Without thinking, he downed his drink. He had intended, after downing this drink, he would leave the club that annoyed him.
With an angry heart, he got up from his seat. He was about to end his search for the old granny in his dreams. He didn't even realize the last drink he drank wasn't the vodka he ordered earlier.
