Chapter 88 - She Blushed At The Sight.

After talking to Daniel and finding out the disturbing news, Luther's whole mood took one eighty degree turn. 

He still couldn't believe that Kyra and Oliver are close! This is not Kyra's style to get too close to someone, especially a man, that too, a man from her past. 

"I never saw you this grumpy. What made you feel off?" Maya, Mark's girlfriend and Kyra's friend asked as she noticed his sullen expression. 

"Nothing.", Luther lied as he prepared himself for the surgery. 

"Don't lie! Is it because Dr. Miller is Kyra's ex-crush?" she asked. As she is the one who told her boyfriend about Kyra's crush, she knows what made Luther sad. 

'Not ex. He seems to be her crush even now' Luther thought. But he decided to confirm it from Kyra before concluding the relationship between them. 

He won't ask directly and he is scared to do that. At the same time, he doesn't want to blindly believe Daniel's words. He needs to hear from Kyra. 

"So, it is really that." Maya chuckled. 

"Don't be like this, dude! You really need to act fast and don't be magnanimous and give up your love on Kyra just because she seems to find a man."

"Everything is fair in love and war. Be selfish and pursue Kyra if you want to be with her. If you ask me, she will be safe and happy with you rather than someone who doesn't know her well." 

"He doesn't know anything about her or her past, so he should be clueless about her truma and what it does to her if it gets triggered. What if he gets vexed by it and decides to leave her after making her fall in love with him." Maya said. 

"So, you know about Oliver and Kyra? That they are getting close now?" Luther asked. 

"I heard from Daniel. I was on a call with him a few days back to discuss some surgery and we somehow ended up talking about it." she honestly answered. 

"If you don't want to ask her, why don't you go and see by yourself? We can't conclude everything by ourselves without knowing what actually is going on between themselves."

"They could be friends or simply colleagues who share the same passion. Or, Oliver might be treating her like a sister, a junior who he admires."

"We can get to know the actual relationship only after observing them for a while. If they don't share any romantic feelings, you need not worry and go by your actual plan."

"If Oliver is having feeling for her, you have to be the first person to propose to Kyra rather than him. I really don't want Kyra to get hurt." Maya said. 

She was also Kyra's roommate when they are freshman. So, she kind of knows Kyra's past and what followed after. 

Though Kyra is fine now, she was different back then. Whoever have gotten close to her have automatically started to feel protective towards her. 

And, she is one of them. 

As she has also seen how Kyra fought with her inner demons to mould her into what she is now, she knows how important role Luther has played in it. 

There is no one who deserves Kyra more than him! 

"You are right, Maya. After hearing about them my mind started going blank. I couldn't think of anything."

"Thanks for helping me with it. Thank you" Luther said and gave her a brief hug and walked into the operation hall. 

Maya looked at his receding figure and sighed. 

She felt bad for him and wt the same time she felt guilty too. 

Guilty for using him like this. 

But it is for the right cause. 

'My part is done.' she texted Daniel. 

'Good job.' Daniel replied immediately as if he was waiting for her message. 

"I did this for Kyra. If what you said is right, I think I did it to keep Kyra safe. I promised to protect her." Maya said as she stared at her pendant. 

"You did the right thing, Maya." Daniel texted back. 

"I did this for Kyra. What about you?" Maya enquired. She has to convince herself that she didn't do anything that would cause pain to Kyra. 

When Daniel read that text, his face morphed with pain and anger. 

"You need not know." he crudely replied and went offline. 

"Always mysterious!! I… I hope I did the right thing." Maya thought worriedly. 

"Luther is my friend. I… I am just helping him by pushing him towards Kyra. I… I am doing something a friend has to do. Nothing else." she convinced herself. 

"He deserves Kyra. He could keep her happy." she thought. 

Although she knows that Daniel only told her a fraction of the story, that alone was enough for her to decide. 

She is protective of Kyra because Kyra is the friend who helped her at her lowest. 

------

Clueless of the storm that's brewing towards her, Kyra was enjoying the resort with Ryan and Sofia. 

They both are drinking while Kyra sipped her fruit juice. As she has surgery to perform tomorrow, she decided not to get drunk. 

"I need to use the restroom. You guys continue." she said as she stood up to leave the private room. 

Sofia and Ryan are busy singing karaoke so they just nodded their heads. 

Kyra smiled and left the room. She could clearly see that they love each other but it's frustrating that they just play around the bushes like this. 

Soon, she reached the restroom and finished her business. As she went to wash her hands, she noticed that Jennifer was there as well. 

Dressed in a beautiful evening dress, she looked fantastic. 

'Maybe she is having a date' Kyra thought as she washed her hands. 

Though Jennifer noticed Kyra, she didn't recognise her. It is because she is not wearing spects and is having her long hair styled in a different hairstyle from the one she does to her work. 

And, she is not wearing her loose clothes but a beautiful dress. 

'She looks beautiful', Jennifer thought while looking at Kyra. 

'Her aura is different as well. Will Oliver's girlfriend be better than this girl?' she thought. 

'But why does she look familiar?' Jennifer wondered. 

'Could be a celebrity. The way she carried herself is similar to the models.' Jenny thought. 

Kyra chuckled inside. It might sound unfair and superficial but looks always matter. 

People start judging anyone by their looks and Kyra knows it too well because she faced it when she was living with her mother here in this city. 

Before coming to live with her biological mother, she used to live with her father and his family in a town. 

As she was not taken care of properly, neither figure nor her looks were attractive. And, even when she was living with her mother, it took some time for her to understand how much outer look matters. 

But by that time, she has already faced body shame for her clothing style, her looks and her body. 

Kyra gave a smile to Jennifer who was staring at Kyra through the mirror and gave a wink making Jennifer blush a little. 

'How cute.' she thought inside. 

Meanwhile, embarrassed for what happened, Jennifer hurried out of the restroom. She got caught staring at a woman! Woman!! 

Kyra chuckled and followed Jennifer outside to go back to her private room but happened to see something which made her freeze. 

Oliver was leaning against the wall and after Jennifer walked out of the restroom he walked to her and wrapped his hand around her shoulder as if he wanted to support her. 

'Got your periods?' he asked for which Jennifer nodded her head with a pout. 

Her periods are the most painful time of the month when she barely can do her daily work. Though she is under medication for that, her condition has not improved. 

"Finally!" Oliver said. Her periods were irregular and her gynecologist asked her to take medication but Jennifer refused. 

If it didn't come this month, she would have been forced to follow her doctor's orders and she didn't want it because she knew it's not good for the long term. 

"I will take you back home?" Oliver asked Jennifer for which she nodded her head. 

"What about your grandfather? He wanted to have dinner with me for a very long time." Jennifer said. 

"I will bring you to the family mansion next week. I will explain to him and he will understand, okay!" Oliver said, genuinely worried. 

"And, take a holiday tomorrow. I will divide your work for others." he said as they walked away. 

"Oh God!!" Kyra heard a familiar voice from behind and when she saw Sofia standing behind her, equally shocked, she immediately closed Sofia's mouth with her palm and dragged her away in the opposite direction. 

Meanwhile, Oliver turned to look at the source of the sound but he only saw the back of two ladies leaving the restroom. 

"That woman there was beautiful. Maybe more beautiful than your girl." Jennifer said. 

"But, in my eyes my girl is the best." Oliver shelessly declared. 

----

"What the hell was that!!" Sofia fumed in anger as they entered their private room. 

"He...he is with another girl, Ky! And, he is very caring towards her just like how caring he was towards you!" she added. 

"What happened?" Ryan asked, confused but he could already guess it.
