His soul-Chapter 78: A Liontin

After her status was legally recognized, Gina’s life became a little better, she got some additional facilities from her family. Starting from unlimited credit cards, the latest cars and of course the status that is now recognized by everyone. Living in such luxury would be a cause for some people, but not for Gina. She felt like she wasn’t being herself right now, too much being served and respected was not something Gina wanted to feel.

Now her goal to take revenge for what she and her mother have experienced for many years is impossible for her to continue anymore, her mother’s status is now officially recognized as well as herself. That’s why Gina currently has no reason to go ahead with the plan to make any more calculations on them, it’s very unfair indeed. But again, Gina couldn’t do anything. It’s a different story if the mother is still alive.

Three days since her status was officially recognized, Gina is living very quietly, no more disturbances from her two half-sisters who haven’t been home since Diego was expelled. Selena and Rosa with her mother Vanessa, go with Diego. They live in one of the luxury apartments owned by the Sanders family which has officially become Diego’s.

"What are you doing, honey?" Barbara’s sudden greeting broke Gina’s thoughts.

Gina smiled. "I’m feeding the fish, Grandma."

"These fat fish will get fatter the more you feed them, honey."

Gina’s smile grew wider when she heard her grandmother’s words, she returned to scatter the fish food in her hands into the pond.

"Gina."

"Yes."

"Grandma has something for you," Barbara said softly.

Gina turned her gaze to her grandmother. "Something? What is it that Grandma wants..."

Gina’s words stopped when she suddenly saw that her grandmother had shown her the contents of a black velvet box that she had just taken out of her shirt pocket.

"Grandma..."

"This is the necklace that Grandma originally wanted to give to your mother as a gift for her marriage to your father, but until finally your mother left Grandma didn’t have time to give it to her. So Grandma decided to give it to you, dear," Barbara said hoarsely.

Gina’s chest suddenly felt tight when she heard her grandmother’s words.

"When Grandma heard that your father married the girl he loved, Grandma was overjoyed. Grandma decided to give this necklace to her, but all of Grandma’s plans to give it to your mother failed because Grandpa was angry. She was furious when she found out that her beloved son married a woman who did not suit him. By his standards, your Grandpa who loves his son very much turned 180° to hate him very much. Various ways he did to make your father return home and leave your mother, until suddenly your grandfather fell ill your father just came home. At that time Grandma did not know that you had grown in your mother’s womb, so Grandma was silent when your father was forced to marry another woman who at that time already had a son..."

Barbara stopped her words, she couldn’t and felt guilty for Sandra for the injustice she had received.

"If Grandma knew that you were already in your mother’s womb, maybe then Grandma would look for you. It’s late, but Grandma really apologizes profusely to you for not being by your side when you were growing up," said Barbara again in a trembling voice.

Gina closed her eyes for a moment, trying to neutralize the anger that was bubbling up inside her.

Barbara immediately grabbed Gina’s hand and gripped it tightly after placing the small box she had just shown to Gina beside her. "You will forgive Grandma, won’t you, dear?" Barbara’s eyes were already wet with tears as she spoke.

"Before I answer, may I ask you one question?" Gina asked quietly.

"Sure, of course you can ask," Barbara answered quickly.

"May I know why Grandpa hates my mother so much?"

Barbara slowly released her grip on Gina’s hands and turned to touch Gina’s beautiful face. "The main reason is because your father and mother’s wedding took place on the very day your father’s sister died, dear."

"What?"

Barbara took a deep breath before she finally recounted the bloody incident in which she lost her beloved daughter at the peak of her career, when she was 18 years old when Julian married Sandra. During Barbara’s story, Gina felt congested, she couldn’t believe that there was a sad story that Barbara and Yohanes Sanders had been hiding for so long.

"At that time your Grandpa looked fine, he tried to accept Juliet’s death gracefully. Even though his heart was really hurt to see his only daughter die, he still tried to stay strong following the funeral process until it was finished. Until finally he found out the fact that your father was happy when we all lost Juliet, since then your Grandpa has tried his best to separate your father from your mother."

"Didn’t Grandpa hate my mother from the start, did he?"

Barbara smiled wryly. "That’s because of your father’s selfishness, son. Your father who was in love at that time didn’t realize his mistake for not formally introducing your mother to us, that’s why your Grandpa was angry and felt that he was not considered a father. That’s why your Grandpa seemed to hate your mother from the start. "

"So it’s Daddy’s fault," Gina said quietly.

Barbara landed a gentle kiss on Gina’s forehead. "There’s nothing wrong dear, maybe this is the way it has to be. And now Grandma begs you to forgive us, dear?"

Gina nodded her head slowly because she didn’t know what to do. It would be very selfish for her to blame her father or grandfather after she knew all the truth. It seems that what her grandmother said is true, everything that has happened is really because of the fate that God has determined. After all, if she continued to hate her father’s family it would be very unfair.

After wiping her tears, Barbara slowly grabbed a crescent-shaped necklace from the box she had previously brought to wear around Gina’s neck, who was not wearing any jewelry. Even now her ears are still tight because Sandra is not pierced like most other girls, Sandra said Gina has the freedom of her own body to have piercings or tattoos on her body. That’s why until Gina entered high school she never wore earrings.

"It’s so beautiful," Barbara said quietly as she saw the necklace she had designed herself decades ago hanging around Gina’s neck.

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Promise you’ll keep wearing it, honey," Barbara said quickly.

Gina smiled. "Yes, I will continue to wear it."

"Oh Gina, Grandma is really very happy. Thank you for coming to Barcelona, ​​thank you for giving us the opportunity to penetrate all our guilt towards your mother," Barbara said hoarsely as she hugged Gina tightly.

When Gina was enjoying her peace, suddenly from the direction of the gate a very loud horn sounded non-stop, instantly Gina released her arms from her grandmother and turned towards the gate that had been opened by two guards. Shortly after the door opened, Selena was seen driving her car at high speed and stopped right in front of Gina and Barbara who were relaxing by the pool.

Not enough with the commotion she made earlier, Selena then got out of her car and headed straight for Gina who was sitting staring at her without blinking.

"You bastard...!!" Selena screamed loudly as she raised her hands high in preparation to reveal Gina’s face.
