Chapter 89 - Do You Know Her??

"What happened?" Ryan asked as he looked at them alarmingly. 

He could see that Sofia is fuming with anger and as of Kyra, her face remained expressionless. 

And, it made Ryan even more worried. If his sister was angry or sad, he would have atleast managed to see through her. 

But seeing her void of any emotions only triggered his overprotective nature. 

"That scumbag-" Sofia was about to curse but Kyra interfered. 

"Sofia, you can't judge a person just like that!" she chided her friend but Sofia and Ryan could see her forehead scrunch in stress. 

"I saw with my own eyes! What else is needed, Ky?" Sofia asked as she sat down, throwing a fit of anger. 

"Sofia, it is too soon to judge. She could be a friend or maybe someone he treats as a sister." Kyra told her. 

"Or, she could be a girlfriend or a fiancee." Sofia said. 

Ryan, who was looking at them, sighed. Sofia is sometimes immature and childish. She judges a person too soon and that was one of the reasons why he is afraid to come clean with her. 

"What happened? Could anyone feed me details?!" he asked. 

"Well, I followed Kyra to the restroom as I was worried she might cross her paths with someone from the past." Sofia started narrating. Kyra didn't butt in because there are many things going on in her mind. 

She couldn't help overthinking because of her past. She didn't want to but she couldn't help. 

"I was about to return but I happened to see Oliver with another girl. He was very affectionate towards her and you should have seen the relief that has spread across his face when he heard that she got her periods!"

"He might have impregnated her and was worried about that!" Sofia said in anger. 

"Sofi-", Ryan was about to say something but Sofia cut him off with her words. 

"And, she is here with Oliver's family. Maybe he is serious with that girl and Kyra was just for time pass " she added.

"Enough, Sofia!" Kyra snapped, her voice low yet angry enough to make Sofia shut her mouth. 

"Do not you ever show prejudice against anyone without knowing the whole story, got it?"

"Yes, I do get that what we saw right now is screaming everything you are thinking right now. But, let's not judge him too soon, okay?" Kyra asked, her voice breaking at the last sentence. 

Ryan and Sofia felt guilty for making Kyra emotional like this. 

"I am sorry, Ky. I… I just lost my cool." Sofia apologized as she immediately hugged Kyra. 

"It's okay." Kyra said, leaning into her friend's protective embrace. 

"I… I have seen many situations like this in my field and I am sensitive when it comes to double timing. I didn't mean to suspect Oliver but-" Sofia was about to apologize but Kyra smiled. 

"I get you, Sofi. Just don't do it again, okay?" she asked and Sofia nodded her head with a cute expression which made Kyra smile. But the pain in her eyes is obvious. 

People might think that Kyra is overreacting but her past simply made her like that. 

She is utterly insecure and emotionally fragile when it comes to relationships. 

Ryan patted Kyra's back giving her comfort and support she needed. The things he fretted the most have occurred sooner than he expected. 

It always made him worry whenever he thought about how Kyra would react if she got hurt by Oliver emotionally. 

But, he didn't think that it would come this soon. It doesn't matter whether what the girls saw is true or not as this is just the beginning. 

Every relationship is bound to have some rough road ahead and his sister is one of those who have the hardest. 

"Let's not think too much. Just like how Kyra said, it could be anything. She might be a cousin, a friend or a relative. But at the same time, what Sofia said could be true as well." Ryan said. 

Kyra nodded her head as she fidgeted her fingers. 

Yes, one could never say with confidence that he or she knows the person they love well enough. 

Maybe there will be people who could do that but, unfortunately she is not one of them. 

She might have been that person if her biological mother and her family didn't back stab her after being so nice to her. 

She couldn't see through their ulterior motives that time so, it got imprinted in her mind that she is naturally bad at reading the person's real self. 

"Do you know her, Kyra?" Ryan asked, his voice serious. 

"Uh-huh. She is the new fellow who joined today. Her name is Jennifer and she is the second person Oliver took under his wing." Kyra answered. 

Sofia gritted her teeth. 

"He took you in because he felt attracted towards you. He did the same with her so-" Sofia was about to say something but Kyra glared at her which instantly made Sofia silent.

"So, you are saying that she is your colleague." Ryan asked and Kyra nodded her head. 

"Oliver took Kyra as the fellow under him because our uncle asked him for that favor. Maybe Oliver took that Jenny girl because he knew her family. So, we can't judge who got it, Sofi?" Ryan said. 

"And Ky, what do you think is happening between them?" Ryan asked. He wants to know if Kyra is serious about Oliver to the extent that she wants to believe he is innocent.

If she is, then, he would try his best to find the truth. If this is another person, Kyra would actually opt to keep distance from that person because she doesn't want to get hurt. 

"I… I don't think he looks at her like that. He looked at her just like how you look at me. A sisterly love." Kyra said. 

She had seen how Oliver looked at her, so she could tell the difference. It is just like how her brother Ryan treats her and Sofia differently. 

"But, I can't take risks, Kyra. I promised everyone that I will take utmost care of you. I can't let this thing pass just because you think differently."

"If what you said is the truth, there would be no one happier than me." Ryan said. If what his sister observed is true, that means she became good at reading people and their real motives. 

If she is not, it means he has to take everything in his hands and protect his sister from breaking her heart again. He doesn't have patience nor heart to see her suffer again. 

Kyra nodded her head. 

In situations like these, she is no different from a kid, thanks to her biological family. 

So, she could only let her brother's take care of her. Yes, she is not perfect, not even close to it. 

She is independent and strong when it comes to her career and professional life but she is very dependent and vulnerable when it comes to personal life. 

When she said she has many things to change in herself, she is not lying. This is one of the many things she wanted to change. 

When Ryan looked at his sister, he could only ball his fists. He knows what his sister is exactly thinking of. 

She would be thinking that she is nothing but a burden to him and her other four brothers, which she is not. 

She should be cursing and hating herself for being weak and insecure like this. 

She is causing pain to herself and that is why he was scared to trust Oliver who doesn't know anything about his sister. 

If it was Luther, he would have told Kyra who that girl is. In the first place, it wouldn't have reached till there because Kyra knows almost everyone in Luther's life.

And to be even more precise, Luther wouldn't even take another girl out to meet his family because his family already loves Kyra and they would cut his legs if he betrayed Kyra.

This is not the only case where he prefers Luther over Oliver as this is not the only situation which could bring pain to his emotionally fragile sister. 

As he said, this is just the beginning.

After having this conversation, Kyra, Sofia and Ryan left the resort. Their plan to enjoy the night in this beautiful weather has gone sideways. 

-------

Meanwhile, Oliver who is clueless of what happened came back to his house after driving Jennifer back to her house. 

He felt relieved as Jennifer didn't have to start a medical procedure for her irregular periods and the pain it causes. His sister Nora has the same issue and is taking treatment, so he knows how much girls suffer in those times. 

After taking a bath he stood on the balcony with his bathrobe on. 

"What would Kyra be doing now?" He asked himself. It started to drizzle and it is now turning into a rain, so it made him remember the time they had after the accident. 

He took his phone and was about to call her but decided not to. What if she is sleeping? Or, what if she is painting and his call disrupts her flow? 

"Ahh, why do I miss her so much?" he thought of combing his wet hair with his fingers. 

"God, I have to introduce Jennifer to Kyra before any misunderstanding takes place.." he thought all of a sudden, concern evident in his eyes.
