Let Gretta's Name Gone Forever

Club Red Rose, city M

At the same time, with a different atmosphere when the sound of stomping music that can be heard can be deafening.

Not far from the downtown area, to be precise in one of the M city entertainment venues, there were several women who were already looking sexy in their evening dresses. They all began to prepare, welcoming guests who began to arrive with alluring smiles presented.

Among the women who passed by, there were also some men who stood tall with grim faces on.

Yes..., although not all of them put on a grim face, for example, a man standing while turning his face to the left and right. It was as if they were looking for someone who had been waiting for their arrival, because they already had an appointment to tell them about the events of this afternoon.

Pat!

"Why Chiko? Why are you so nervous?" asked someone who tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

The man who looked left and right was indeed Chiko. He purposely stood like this waiting for a coworker whom he had visited this afternoon.

"Ah! Lex. No, I'm just waiting for Ana. Has she come yet? The thing is that I've been waiting for nothing," Chiko answered and then asked.

"Ana huh? Not yet, but they said there would be a new kid here, Ana's friend. Do you know her?"

What!?

Chiko looked at his partner, Lex, not understanding. Why bring Ana's friend around? Because he knows, Ana's only friend at the house is Grett-

Thump!

Chiko's eyes widened perfectly when he remembered the events of the day before. Despite denying his negative thoughts about Gretta's decision, when there is news like this he becomes even more afraid to know the truth.

"What do you mean?" Chiko asked with a pounding heart.

"Yeah, I also overheard Mrs. Boss' conversation on the phone with someone. But what I clearly heard was that Ana's name was mentioned and her friend was going to work here."

This clearer follow-up sentence from his partner made Chiko's eyes rounder. He rushed out of the room with the sound of music deafening, leaving his companion who called out and stared at the retreating back in bewilderment.

"Oy Chiko! Where are you going?"

The master of the name—Chiko didn't hear the call at all. Yes, he actually went further and further out there, blindly going around looking for the whereabouts of a woman who had not been seen at all.

He scanned the parking lot, hoping to find Geana, the person he'd been looking for in the first place.

Shit! Where are you, An? Chiko thought nervously.

Meanwhile, Chiko, who is confused, looks for the whereabouts of a woman named Geana. Elsewhere, in a small alley leading to the club, there are two women walking side by side without any accompanying chatter.

The two of them did go out together, but no one knew where each other's thoughts were.

These two women were Gretta and Geana who finally asked, while still doubting the decision taken.

"Gretta."

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure? While we still haven't arrived, there is still another way for me to pay-

"Come on,Ana, hasn't it been explained that from this afternoon my name is Nanda."

"Yes but-

"It's okay, I've calculated everything and again it's not just for you. Anyway, tonight let me do what I've decided, let me do what I want. Got it?"

Again, Gretta, who has now changed her name to Nanda, quickly interrupted Geana's words. The two of them even stopped in their tracks, only to see each other in the middle of the small alley where the two of them used to meet.

"Look around you, Gea," added Gretta as she brought her face to look around and Geana followed her without being asked twice.

"This is the place..."

"This is where we met, to be precise, I met myself in a bad state. So, here too let Gretta's name be lost forever. Let me live with you as Nanda or leave me alone, then we part here. How?"

Thump!

Geana looked at Gretta in disbelief when she heard those serious tone words.

Why is Gretta stubborn and willing to become a woman like her just to help pay off her father's debt. Debt that should not be borne by her, now it was borne by Gretta as well.

Geana stared at Gretta in silence for a long time, before finally nodding slightly as if giving up and understanding what the stubborn woman in front of her wanted.

"You must not regret this decision, Nanda," muttered Geana, calling Gretta's name with the new name softly at the end.

A simple name, but able to make Gretta who heard it smile a little. At least, she knew that Geana had started to accept this stubborn decision.

"I'll never regret it," Gretta replied firmly.

"Despite losing the chance to have holy love?" asked Geana seriously.

Gretta didn't answer right away. Instead, she was brought back to remember when she was in the room and made this decision and the risks involved.

From the very beginning she had decided not to give her love to anyone else.

She knows it's impossible for a woman like her to have a man with love and sincerity in living her life with her. Therefore, she thinks love is just a taste with bullshit in it.

If love does exist, why can a husband and wife split up on the grounds of infidelity?

Then, where is the love that they glorify, if in fact the affair still exists between those who love each other.

"Love, I don't know what love is. But, if this decision makes me unable to have love, then the answer is no problem," said Gretta after a long silence.

"Besides, I know why this is a risk. So, let it go and take it easy on what you have chosen. For now, that's all I think should be thought about," she continued, shrugging her shoulders indifferently.

Geana silently looked at Gretta with a nod of her head as a final answer. While still hoping that Gretta suddenly dropped her intentions, she ended up just following what the young woman in front of her had chosen.

Yes, the same woman who has promised togetherness in living life with her.

"Your name may change to Nanda, but don't ever change it to me when it's just the two of you. Keep being Gretta, when you're with me," said Geana earnestly.

Gretta nodded slightly at that. She smiled faintly as an answer if she agreed to what was asked by the woman who she considered an older sister.

"Of course, Ana," Gretta said, calling Geana by her nickname, when she worked as an entertainer.

"So I have to call you Nanda, right?" said Geana with a snort and resumed walking, followed by Gretta who nodded in response.

"Nanda, that's right."

"It's up to you, but Gretta ..., there is something I want to tell you about your work, about the beginning before actually starting work," said Geana surrendered, then changed her tone back to serious and Gretta also listened with the same expression.

"What's that?"

"You can't be-

"Geana! Gretta! You're here too?"
