His soul-Chapter 341: Who are you, Gina
New York John F Kennedy International Airport 11.30 PM.
Since her arrival at the airport twenty minutes ago Gina continues to be the center of attention of her friends, the students who just celebrated graduation couldn’t believe that Gina was at the airport with them now considering how difficult it was to get Gina to travel out of town during their four years of college together.
"This is just my feeling or not, if since the beginning your friends have been staring at us with disapproval," Andres said slowly, half whispering to Gina who was standing beside her.
"That’s just how you feel, Andres," Lauren said quickly. "Don’t talk nonsense, just watch out if Gina doesn’t fly to Paris this time, okay?"
Andreas, who understood where Lauren was talking, finally closed his mouth, while Gina was silent without changing her facial expression.
Right next to when his uncle was standing, Patrick was talking to some of Gina’s college friends who were in charge of the event in Paris this time. Patrick asked carefully the rundown of the events that the thirty students would be doing in Paris in the context of the year-end vacation that had been planned since six months ago.
"Actually, not all of us are required to participate in this event, Uncle. Some of us also did not participate because they had been accepted for work or had other matters, therefore we did not force Gina if Gina was not allowed to participate," said James slowly answering Patrick’s question. repeated.
Patrick shook his head. "No, I’m not an old-fashioned parent. I wouldn’t stop Gina from going if the agenda was clear, especially if all of her friends were going."
"Don’t worry Uncle, we’re just going around in Paris. We’re not going anywhere, the hotel rooms are also well-arranged. So Uncle doesn’t have to worry," Elana said excitedly in response to James’ words. "Besides, Gina isn’t a kid who should be banned from having fun with her friends, isn’t it, youth won’t be repeated twice, Uncle."
Some of Gina’s college friends are already very familiar with Patrick, after seeing Patrick often taking Gina to pick them up, they know what Patrick looks like, who is known as a very conservative person in a very modern era.
"Just one week, right?" Patrick asked quietly.
"Yeah, Uncle. Just a week," James replied seriously.
Patrick took a deep breath, slowly moving his hand to James’ shoulder and squeezing it tightly. "Okay, have fun you guys in Paris. But remember one thing, you have to look after each other. Not just for Gina but for your other female friends, be a responsible man."
"Don’t worry Uncle, everything’s been arranged properly," said James full of promise.
Patrick nodded slowly, slowly turning his gaze to Gina who was laughing with Lauren and her friends. As soon as he found out that Gina had received an invitation to go to Paris with her friends, Patrick immediately invited Brigitta to have a serious discussion.
Because he couldn’t bear to see Gina continue to be at home while her friends went out to have fun, Patrick finally gave Gina permission to go. Patrick wants to remind Gina and her friends one last time before they enter the workforce.
"Thank you, Uncle," Gina said quietly.
Patrick smiled. "Have fun, don’t forget to call, Uncle."
Gina nodded her head excitedly. "Yes, uncle."
"Have fun, honey. Disneyland Paris is the best, you’ll have fun," Brigitta whispered softly to Gina.
"Really, Aunty? I’m getting impatient," said Gina excitedly.
Brigitte chuckled. "When you get to Disneyland, let Aunty know, okay?"
"Sure, Aunty. I will contact you and show you the beautiful places there," Gina promised earnestly.
Patrick smiled. "No need dear, just enjoy your vacation with friends. Just contact us every morning, the important thing is that you can take good care of yourself."
"Yes Uncle."
"Well go, Lauren is waiting," Patrick said slowly, releasing his arms from Gina. "Remember Uncle’s message, take good care of yourself."
Gina nodded her head excitedly, after giving her family one last hug, she finally ran to Lauren who was waiting for her at the departure gate where her friends were already starting to enter the aerodrome to the plane.
Brigitta kept waving at Gina who was finally out of sight, her motherly smile still growing as the departure gates for Paris closed.
"Thank you, honey. Thank you for letting Gina have fun, I’m sure Gina is very happy to be on vacation with her friends at this time," Brigitta said softly to Patrick as the plane carrying Gina had started to leave American soil.
Patrick took a deep breath. "I just don’t want to make Gina feel bad, Brigitta."
"I know everything you did all this time was to protect Gina, you’ve done your best for the past five years, honey. Trust me this time Gina will be fine, you’ll see for yourself not if they go together. take care of each other, especially with Lauren by Gina’s side. The chief’s daughter will take good care of our daughter."
"Yes Daddy, what Mommy said is true. Gina will be fine, don’t worry," said Pedro suddenly.
"Well, Gina, we’ll be fine. Come on, let’s go home, it’s getting late. Daddy’s sleepy."
Pedro immediately hugged his father tightly, as well as Andres left Brigitta walking behind his three heroes. Brigitta couldn’t help but smile when she saw her two sons controlling her husband.
"Gina isn’t within my reach right now, Sandra. Please change my job for a while to look after her," Patrick said to himself as he had just left the airport with his eyes closed. "Please take care of that girl, Lord. Protect her, have mercy on her. Keep away all the bad things that will happen to her, she has suffered too long. Don’t let bad things come back to her, Lord."
As if knowing what her husband was saying, Brigitta slowly patted her husband’s shoulder gently from behind which Patrick gave a small nod with a warm smile.

On the plane Gina smiled at her friends who were joking, the seven-hour flight would have been very enjoyable.
"Is this your first flight after coming to America, Gina?" asked Lauren suddenly.
"Yeah, this is my first flight after 5 years coming to America," Gina answered quietly without taking her eyes off Elena and her other friends.
"No wonder Uncle Patrick had a hard time letting you go."
Gina smiled. "Uncle is just too scared if something bad happens to me, Lauren."
"I know, but don’t worry, I’ll take care of you, Gina. You don’t need to be afraid, we’ll all be there to protect you," Lauren said with a warm smile.
Gina nodded her head, feeling thirsty, Gina raised her hand to ask a flight attendant for mineral water. Although at this time they had gotten wine to warm their bodies, Gina chose to drink water. Since living with her uncle and family for the past five years, Gina has never touched alcohol again, her aunt’s healthy lifestyle has really made Gina unable to tolerate alcohol anymore.
"Wine," James said slowly, offering his drink to Gina and Lauren who sat behind him.
"Thanks, I’ve got it, James," Lauren declined gently.
"Gina?"
"I can’t drink alcohol," Gina answered honestly.
"Are you serious?"
Gina nodded slowly. "Yes, Aunty Brigitta is a devout churchman. So we can’t all drink alcohol."
"Oh Jesus, there are still people like your aunt in this very advanced era, Gina," said Brobi, suddenly joining in.
James nudged Brobi’s arm hard. "Don’t interfere in someone’s beliefs, Brobi."
"Oops." Brobi immediately raised his hands high in the air. "I’m sorry Gina, I didn’t mean to offend your family’s beliefs."
"It’s ok, Brobi," Gina answered briefly with a smile.
Tring...tring...
"Attention, please."
Suddenly Elena rattled her brandy glass with Brobi’s in the air.
James slowly stood up straight with his wine glass in the air. "Our year-end vacation will definitely be fun, I hope after this our friendship will be established even though we are separated. I hope after this holiday we will all get jobs according to our respective dreams," said James loudly in front of about three dozen of his friends who were sitting nearby.
"Yeee..."
"For the sake of friendship."
"For a more beautiful future."
"For the dream job."
One by one the students who had just graduated shouted in response to James’ words who had just spoken before they finally enjoyed their respective wines together.
"For a more beautiful future," James said softly to Gina who sat beside him.
Gina smiled. "For the sake of a future that... ukhh.."
Gina’s words stopped when she suddenly felt a pain in her left chest.
"What are you doing, Gina?" Lauren panicked, her hands immediately touching the shoulders of Gina who had lowered her head.
"I’m fine, just a little uncomfortable," Gina answered quietly without lifting her face.
"Are you serious? Should I call a flight attendant to help you, Gina?" James asked worriedly.
Gina shook her head. "It’s ok, I’m fine."
"Serious?"
"Yes Lauren, I just suddenly felt uncomfortable a moment ago. But now it’s fine," Gina replied quickly while looking at Lauren who looked very worried.
"Don’t scare me, Gina. I could be killed by Uncle Patrick and your brothers if anything bad happened to you," Lauren said hoarsely with tears in her eyes. "They’ve asked me to look after you."
Gina slowly lifted her face and smiled at Lauren. "I’m fine, never mind don’t talk nonsense."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Oh Gina, you almost made me stand to death. Please don’t do that again."
"Yes, Lauren," Gina said quickly as she tightened her arms on Lauren who looked like she was about to cry.
James, who was previously worried about Gina’s condition, finally smiled with relief, even though he wasn’t too close to Gina, but James felt that Gina wasn’t a random person. James felt that what Patrick and his family were doing was not only concerned with Gina’s health, James felt that there was another big reason that made Patrick Davidson take care of Gina so closely. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Who the hell are you, Gina?" said James in his heart.
