His soul-Chapter 336: Overprotective

Gina waved her hand at Lauren who had driven her car away from her uncle’s house where Gina was currently standing, as soon as Lauren’s car was out of sight Gina then stepped into the three-story house that had many shady trees in front of it. After five years, the garden that was originally arid is now cool because of the many trees and flowers planted by Brigitta, who really loves plants.

"Are you home, honey?" from behind the door that opened suddenly from within Brigitta greeted Gina with love as usual.

Gina smiled. "Yes, Auntie. Today Lauren and I just returned some books to the library."

Brigitta who was already standing in front of Gina rolled her eyes. "Where’s Lauren?"

"Go straight home, Auntie."

"That girl is always like this, today Auntie cooked a lot of food."

Gina raised an eyebrow. "Cooking a lot of food? What’s going on, Aunty?"

Brigitta smiled widely. "Secret."

"Aunty..."

Brigitta’s laughter grew wider. "I can’t, the name must be kept a secret. Come on, let’s go in, help Aunty prepare the table, okay?"

Gina immediately stood up straight with her hands in a respectful pose. "Yes, ma’am."

Brigitta chuckled amused at Gina’s behavior, because it was getting late Brigitta also invited Gina into the house to help her prepare their special dinner.

"When are the candles lit, Auntie?"

"Later, honey. Now you take a shower," Brigitta replied softly.

"Is it okay, Aunty?"

Brigitte chuckled. "Of course, it’s all over after all."

Gina smiled hearing Brigitta’s words, after carefully placing the candle she was holding on the table Gina rushed up to her room to take a shower and get ready. Just after Gina closed the door to her room, the front door opened from the outside and Patrick and his two son appeared sweating from their basketball game.

"Gina?"

"Just went up to her room." Brigitta answered quietly to Patrick’s question who had just handed him two large bouquets of roses. "You guys have to get ready too, come on. I’ll save the flowers first."

Patrick nodded his head, after giving his wife a kiss on the forehead Patrick immediately went into the room to take a shower and get ready. Likewise with Andres and Pedro who were refused kisses by Brigitta because of the smell of the sun.

"You boys, can’t be neat at all," Brigitta muttered softly, smiling at the behavior of her two sons who had gone up to the second floor.

With a smile on her lips, Brigitta brought the two bouquets of flowers that Patrick had just brought into the living room. Tonight is a special dinner for Gina in celebration of her graduation day and Gina doesn’t know about it at all, so Brigitta keeps the flowers for Gina in a safe place first.

Since all the preparations had been completed, Brigitta went into her room to change to get ready. Even though she only eats at home, Brigitta is a very conscientious woman, so it’s no wonder that currently their dining room is now similar to a VIP room of an expensive restaurant with all her own delicious food.

"This is amazing, honey," Patrick said in amazement at the sight on his dining table.

Brigitta smiled. "Gina helped me with it, honey," Brigitta replied modestly as she smoothed her hair.

"You’ve always been like that, I’m proud of you, Brigitta. Thanks for everything, I’m really lucky to have you."

"Don’t praise me too much, you’ll make me fly to Pluto."

Patrick chuckled, he slowly grabbed Brigitta’s direct body and hugged her tightly. "I love you, Brigitta."

"Me too."

"Oh my eyes, my eyes are stained!" screamed the youngest Pedro loudly startling Patrick who was about to kiss Brigitta.

Hearing the screams of his youngest son Patrick immediately canceled his intention to give Brigitta a kiss full of love, he looked annoyed at his second son who was now laughing triumphantly without guilt. While Brigitta only smiled slightly at the behavior of the two heroes.

After Pedro came down from behind, Andres appeared who was also as tidy as Pedro, the psychology student who was quieter than Pedro immediately rushed to the dining table waiting for Gina who had not finished preparing. Unbeknownst to Gina, at this time the water in the bathroom had been made to come out smaller than usual. So that Gina had to be extra patient to clean her body, Brigitta did it on purpose so that Gina was in the room longer.

"Perfect," said Brigitta happily when she saw the final touches on the dining table.

"Where is Gina, Mom? I’m hungry," said Pedro mischievously.

"You eater, can’t help but be hungry at all," said Andres curtly.

Pedro immediately turned his face towards his brother with a murderous look. "What are you saying?"

"Shhh, it’s okay, you guys can’t fight. Tonight is a special night for Gina, so don’t mess around," said Brigitta coldly, interrupting her two sons who were about to start their fight again as usual.

Getting a stern warning from the queen as soon as Pedro and Andres locked their lips together, the two handsome young men who were only one year apart in age returned to focus on the plans made by their mother to surprise Gina.

Everyone turned their attention back to staring at the stairs when they heard Gina’s footsteps starting to descend the stairs, Gina who did not know about her family’s plans also looked very relaxed going down the stairs until finally her face looked pale when she saw her uncle’s family greeted her with confetti.

"W-what’s this?" asked Gina confusedly looking at her family who were surrounding her.

"Congratulations on your graduation, honey," Patrick said softly as he handed Gina the bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Congratulations on your hard work over these four years, dear." Not wanting to lose, Brigitta also gave the flowers she had in her hands to Gina. "We proud of you."

"So tonight’s event..."

"Yes, this event is a surprise event for you, dear," said Brigitta again with a twinkle in her eye because the plan went smoothly without any mistakes.

Gina’s eyes immediately filled with tears when she heard the words of her aunt, who for the past five years cared for her with love, Gina felt really lucky to be in the midst of her godfather’s family who was very sincere to her.

Realizing that Gina was about to cry, Brigitta quickly embraced Gina’s body. "Oh my dear.. tonight is a special night for you, so you are not allowed to cry. You should smile happily because we are all celebrating your graduation, baby."

"What Mommy said is true, sis. Tonight you should smile, don’t cry," said Andres softly, chiming in on his mother’s words, trying to help calm Gina who was starting to sob.

"Yes, Sis, don’t cry. The longer you cry, the longer we eat, to be honest I’m already hungry," said Pedro in a snarky manner that completely ruined the emotional atmosphere that had awakened since Gina realized the surprise that was prepared for her.

"Pedro!!"

Pedro immediately raised his hands in the air when his parents and brother in unison called his name loudly.

Gina smiled slightly at the behavior of her youngest brother, Gina quickly wiped her tears. Gina slowly freed herself from Brigitta’s arms and stood back up quietly, after she had managed to control herself, Gina invited her family to immediately sit at the dining table. Gina couldn’t bear to see Pedro who had been seen wiping his saliva several times because he was tempted by the food that was already served on the table.

Once everyone was in their seats, Patrick solemnly led the prayer before the meal. Unlike the previous nights, Patrick’s prayers seemed longer tonight because Patrick was expressing his gratitude for Gina’s graduation. With her eyes closed Gina smiled when she heard the godfather’s sincere prayers for her, in turn everyone at the dinner table prayed sincerely.

"Delicious ... this is the most delicious steak I’ve eaten," shouted Pedro loudly for the third time praising his mother’s steak, which was absolutely delicious.

Brigitte chuckled. "You’re going to choke if you keep screaming like that, baby."

"But Pedro is right, Mom. Mommy’s steak is the best," Andres said honestly, defending his brother.

"Yes, aunty, I’m sure if aunty participates in the commercial chef selection program on television, Auntie will definitely be the winner," not wanting to lose, Gina joined in praising Brigitta’s food as high as the sky.

Brigitta’s laughter grew wider when she heard the praises of her three children. "You guys are very talkative, hurry up and finish your food because after this there is an amazing dessert waiting for you."

"Desert?!" Gina, Pedro and Andres screamed at the same time.

Brigitta chuckled. "Yes."

"Yeaacch.."

The three of them obediently focused on their food again, which made Patrick shake his head slightly laughing at the behavior of his three children sitting around him. Once again, Patrick and Brigitta managed to make a beautiful memory for Gina. the warmth of the family and the abundance of affection really make Gina feel very loved.

Like Brigitta promised earlier, after their main meal was finished. The jet black haired woman brought dessert to the dining table, a large serving of Banana foster with vanilla ice cream and chocolate was served on the table. Without waiting long in turn, Gina, Pedro and Andres took their favorite desert in an orderly manner. Made from bananas that are pan-fried with rum, butter, cinnamon and sugar until they are brown on the outside making the banana taste very delicious. The naturally formed caramel really goes hand in hand with the soft banana, not to mention the ice cream blend that melts in the mouth. Gina really likes Brigitta’s deserts.

"Tomorrow Lauren and I are going to Seattle, uncle," Gina said quietly, starting a conversation between them enjoying desert.

Patrick immediately looked up. "Seattle? For what, honey?"

"Lauren and I got a call for an interview at the same company in Seattle," Gina answered honestly.

"Wow, how come?" asked Brigitta curiously.

"We applied at the same time, Aunty. Actually, not only in this company, we have also sent applications in several other companies. But it turns out that this company called us first," explained Gina excitedly.

"What company, honey?"

"Renewable energy resources, Uncle. From what I’ve heard the center is in Switzerland."

"Wow, renewable energy. That must be a big company, right sis?" Pedro said curiously.

Gina nodded slowly. "Just search the internet, the company name is NolanWill Corp."

Pedro obediently started searching the internet, his eyes widen when he saw the profile of the company that Gina mentioned.

"Cool, this is an amazing company, sis. You have to take it, don’t waste this opportunity," Pedro said excitedly, having a high ambition for any kind of future technological advancements made Pedro support Gina to take the opportunity that came his way.

"Is that true?" shrieked Gina with sparkling eyes.

"Yes."

"Uncle disagrees," Patrick said suddenly dryly.

Instantly the smiles on Gina’s and Pedro’s faces disappeared, both of them also turned simultaneously to Patrick who was sitting at the end of the table.

"Why, Uncle?" Gina asked in a barely audible voice.

"Seattle is too far from where we live, Uncle would rather you look for a job in New York," Patrick answered quietly without changing his expression. "You’ve just graduated too, dear. Enjoy your time first, dear."

Gina’s face changed, it was obvious that Gina was very disappointed with her godfather’s words.

"Later, if there is a vacancy at Uncle’s office, Uncle will immediately inform you, so you don’t have to look for a job like this. You understand, dear?"

Gina nodded slowly, uninspired. "Yes, Uncle. Gina understands."

"Good girl, come on let’s eat your desert again. Don’t you love Banana foster?"

Without being ordered twice, Gina returned to reach for her fork and resumed enjoying her desert even though the taste had changed now, Brigitta who noticed the change in Gina’s mood slowly touched Patrick’s leg from under the table. Patrick who knew what his wife meant just shook his head slowly, his decision was made. Gina won’t be allowed to go far from his watch. Brigitta took a deep breath as she remembered how stubborn her husband was.

Gina’s mood was finally saved when Lauren unexpectedly came to visit, the girl with exotic skin came with a collection of Korean dramas that she would watch with Gina as usual when they were on vacation from college.

"We’re going to our room first, Aunty, Uncle," said Gina politely.

"Enjoy," Brigitta replied softly.

"Excuse me everyone," Lauren said excitedly before finally disappearing behind the stairs following Gina up to the third floor.

Arriving at the room Gina immediately threw herself on the bed, ignoring Lauren who was still standing in front of her bedroom door.

"What are you doing, Gina? Are you fighting with them?" asked Lauren quickly.

Gina raised her head, looked at Lauren and said. "I want to go back to Spain."

"Eh?"
