His soul - Chapter 27:Special gift
The time that Gina was waiting for finally arrived, after a day of thinking about how to get into her father’s family home, finally Gina found a way out by disguising herself as one of the event organizer maids, arranging the engagement of Diego Alvarez and his lover.
Dressed in black and white clothes and a bow tie like a male servant, Gina brought a tray of wine glasses that would be distributed to all guests, luckily Gina chose to remain in her male disguise. The reason is that some of the other female servants seemed to be getting unpleasant treatment from the guests who were present, their buttocks were squeezed and their thighs were stroked. What a trivial act done by the invited guests who were mostly respectable people, Gina was even close to getting angry when one of the maids who received such harassment cried in front of her eyes.
The servant woman cried until she sniffled while telling how before a guest tried to sit her on the guest’s thigh, Gina was really sick of being in such a disgusting place. However, because her goal had not been achieved, Gina finally tried to stay calm and not cause trouble, even though she wanted to break the hand of the man who had acted indolently.
Everyone present in the courtyard of the house that was transformed into a party venue immediately fell silent, when Diego put the ring on his lover’s ring finger and vice versa. The sound of applause was heard very clearly when the two of them had finished serving the ring, Gina’s eyes filled with tears when she saw the figure of her biological father that IA had never seen in her life, Julian Sanders speaking in front of everyone and telling how proud she was to have Diego.
There was a feeling of tightness in Gina’s chest when she heard all those words of praise come out of Julian Sanders’ lips, Gina felt terrible pain when her biological father bragged about a child who was not from his seed in front of all the guests present. While she was born out of an unrecognized legal marriage between her father and mother 18 years ago, Gina is seriously hurt. Without realizing it, Gina’s tears rolled down her face. Disappointment, hate, longing and hurt all become one.
Unable to hear her father’s words, who continued to test Diego on the stage, Gina decided to leave the place, Gina went to the toilet to wipe her tears. Just as Gina went to the toilet the sound of applause was loud again when Vanessa Sanders was invited by her husband to join her on stage.
“If you are bored we can go home now, sir.”
“Not yet, I want to see how beautiful my future wife is and…”

Gina, who was in a hurry, accidentally bumped into a man who was talking to another man.
“Where are your eyes ?! Why don’t you look around, you disgusting lowly servant !!” shouted a man loudly, two seconds later a large man appeared to have grabbed Gina’s arm and forced her to get up from the ground.
Because their current place was in a dark enough place, as a result Gina could not clearly see the people in front of her right now, as well as the group of people who could not see Gina’s face and expression of pain whose hands were currently being gripped tightly by a man.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” said Gina quietly holding the pain in her arm. She was sure that the man who was grabbing her hand right now was not a man carelessly.

Suddenly Gina is thrown again by the person who previously forced her to get up, thrown roughly making Gina in pain because she was not ready.
“You useless human,” said another man insulting Gina.
“No, don’t continue. He’s just a little waitress, we better get out of here,” said a man with a characteristic baritone voice suddenly speaking.
“Yes sir.”
“Yes sir, we understand.”
After saying that they all then left, leaving Gina who was still sitting on the floor who was still in pain from having her hand scratched. Gina was actually able to fight them, but because her goal had not been achieved, finally Gina tried to stay calm and let those who had treated her roughly go away.
“It’s ok Gina, it’s ok … you’re strong,” said Gina in her heart bracing herself, staring at her bleeding left hand.
By holding back the pain, Gina washed her hands using running water so that there was no infection in the sink, because she didn’t want to waste any more time, Gina decided to immediately approach her biological father to give her a small gift that she had prepared since last night.
When Gina came out of the toilet the event was getting more and more crowded, many men and women danced to the accompaniment of romantic songs. Several other people were seen standing around the liquor table, laughter could be heard almost everywhere. Gina also had to try extra hard to find her father, especially when her hand was injured. It was really full of struggle for Gina this time.
“You are really great Julian, after this I am sure your family will be respected by all the citizens of Barcelona.”
“Julian Sanders is really good at finding a son-in-law for his son, looks like we should try Julian’s way.”
Julian chuckled at the compliments of several of his business associates who had attended Diego’s engagement. “Don’t be like this, don’t keep praising me. Later I can fly to Titan haha.”
“But what they say is true, your future-in-law’s family is truly extraordinary, Julian,” said another man in response to Julian’s words.
Several men who were holding wine glasses surrounded Julian and praised him for the success of the event tonight, Julian himself laughed lightly at his colleagues’ praise. He did not realize that not far from where he stood there was his first daughter whom he had abandoned since birth, staring at him without blinking.
“Hey, wait …”
Julian’s speech stopped when he realized the thing that a servant had just given him, the pendant with the initials S and J that joined it successfully made Julian almost faint. The necklace he made himself for the woman he loves, Sandra Garcia. Julian’s whole body shook violently when he held the pendant necklace mixed with a piece of paper in his hand, while his two eyes glanced at the hundreds of people who were partying in front of him to find the male servant who gave the pendant and paper in his hand.
