Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

"Call William and tell him that his sister is fine. However, don't tell him about what happened. Kyra is safe now and it doesn't matter even if they know." Oliver said. 

He didn't want her family to know because he is scared. Scared that they would come and take her back to London and never allow her to step into America anymore. 

Jennifer shared the same thoughts. Moreover, Kyra fell into the river by accident. She didn't intend to do anything extreme. 

"Got it. I will tell him that we found her at the river side and she was taking shelter there for the time being as it started raining" Jennifer said. 

"Tell him that she couldn't contact us because her phone battery died." Oliver said. 

Jennifer nodded her head and contacted her boyfriend and conveyed the message. Fortunately, he didn't insist on speaking to Kyra when she told him that his sister is sleeping. After assuring her boyfriend that she will call as soon as Kyra wakes up, Jennifer ended the call and looked at Oliver who is deep in thought. 

He is thinking about the memory that flashed in his brain when he was rescuing Kyra. It felt so real but he is sure that he never came across a situation like that. 

Maybe he is not the guy who saved Kyra there. Maybe it is just his imagination due to the stress. 

Or, that girl might not be Kyra. The memory that flashed back there is some random glimpse of something he couldn't fathom. 

If that girl is really Kyra and the guy who saved her that time is himself, why in the world would he forget it? In the first place, he never came to this town ever before. He didn't know Kyra until three to four years back. 

"Oliver." Jennifer worriedly called him as she shook his arm. She has been calling him and he didn't respond at all. 

"Wh..what?" Oliver asked, snapping back into reality. 

"You go and rest. I will look after Kyra." Jennifer said.

"It's fine. I will wait here." Oliver insisted. This is the only way he could feel at ease. 

"You got wet in the rain and had to jump into that freezing lake. You must go and eat something hot and rest properly. Else, you will catch a cold, if worse, fever as well." Jennifer said. 

"But-" Oliver was about to say something but Jennifer interjected. 

"Trust me, I will take proper care of her. If you get sick, Kyra will feel guilty and will not stop blaming herself." Jennifer said. 

Justin and Ron who are seated with them looked at each other, sharing same thoughts. 

Kyra is guilty and she is to blame. Who asked her to go at this time and bring trouble to her boyfriend??

Only if they would have known about Kyra's past and it's connection to this town and that river, they might not have felt the same way. But, at the end of the day, Kyra is the one to be blamed. 

However, Oliver loves his girlfriend so much and he could never get angry with her. Moreover, he has his fair amount of share in this. Even after knowing that his girlfriend is sensitive about her past and requires his utmost support, he chose to play safe. 

She got upset and wanted to vent it out. So, she chose to go to the place where she could clear her mind, however, unfortunately, it started to rain and the slippery slopes made her fall into the river. 

If… he would have told her that he would support her, this wouldn't have happened. 

This made Oliver blame himself for what happened. 

"I will come back in a few hours so that you can take a rest. Inform me if she wakes up. Don't forget to eat something, all right?" Oliver said and patted Jennifer's head. She is the best friend he could never thank enough. 

Jennifer smiled and her eyes twinkled. "Sure." she answered and with that Oliver turned to look at Ron and Justin who are looking at the best friends. 

"Thanks a lot for coming to help at this short notice." he thanked them. 

"She is my friend, sir. No need to thank me for helping a friend." Ron said. 

Oliver smiled. "You can go back and rest. We still have to wake up tomorrow for work." Oliver said. 

Ron nodded his head and wished everyone a good night and left. 

"I will take my leave as well. Call me if you guys need any help." Justin said and he left after wishing them a safe night. 

—-----

Oliver felt exhausted. He had to work overnight last night and only returned in the early morning. Even before he could have enough sleep, he had to wake up and get ready for this journey. That made him physically washed out. 

Because of what happened just now, he got fatigued both emotionally and physically. So, as soon as his body felt the warmth of his bed, sleep kicked in. 

He slept well for an hour or so and then it started. The dream…

It showed him from his point of view where he jumped into the river and to save a girl who was drowning. This time, he could see the girl's face clearly. It didn't resemble much of Kyra's but the features are similar. If one sees clearly he or she could find the resemblance. 

However, Oliver knew that it was Kyra. He felt like he had seen this face before. Though he can't put his finger on when and where, he is certain that he has seen her. 

All again, that dream stopped when he reached for her hand and he woke up, sweating. It is not a nightmare or a bad dream but his whole body is sweating. 

His sleep vanished as well. 

Oliver sat down and had to remove his shirt to cool down his seating body. Despite the cold weather here, he is literally drowning in his sweat. 

"If the girl in my dreams is really Kyra, then what am I doing there? I don't remember saving her" He whispered to himself. 

All again, he couldn't find the answer for that. 

Taking a cold bath, he dressed up and went to the hospital to relieve Jennifer so that she could get enough rest. 

He sat down beside Kyra's bed and took her hand into his and looked at her face. He is trying to find the resemblance between the girl in his dreams and Kyra. He is sure that it is Kyra but he had to make sure of it again for his own satisfaction. 

"Did we really know each other back then, Ky? If so, why can't I remember?" he whispered and placed his head on the back of her hand. 

He closed his eyes and without even registering what's happening, he fell asleep. They are the natural sleeping pills for each other. 

He only woke up when he felt a touch on his head. 

It took him a few seconds to register what was happening and a relief spread across his face when he noticed that his girlfriend was awake and was brushing his hair. 

"How are you feeling?" he asked as he entwined their fingers.

"Just weak. I am sorry. I troubled you a lot this time." She apologized. She doesn't remember the details but she could feel that someone had jumped into the water to save her and she faintly recognized the voices when she got wheeled into the hospital. It was her boyfriend who saved her. She can recognize his voice even in her deep sleep. 

"Why did you go at that time? You scared the life out of me." Oliver said, Fear evident in his eyes. 

"Sorry. I was very upset and I might have overthought everything. So, I wanted to clear my head and all I could think of was that river side." Kyra explained. 

"I was about to come back to apologize to you and Jennifer but it started to rain and then only I realized that I was too upset to even charge my phone. I was battery dead long back." she added. 

"I had to stop for shelter but when I realized that rain is not going to stop anytime soon, I wanted to come back. I was in a hurry as I didn't want to worry you but then I somehow slipped and fell into the water. I am sorry." Kyra apologized as she batted her eyes like a cute puppy and held her ears apologetically like a kid. 

Her actions right away melted Oliver's heart. Now, he understood why Kyra's brothers are so helpless when it comes to getting angry at their sister. 

"Don't do this again, okay? Let us know where you are going at least and double check once if your phone is charged or not. Do you know how scared we were?" Oliver said. 

Kyra pouted and whispered sorry to him. 

Oliver sighed. He could never get angry at her, dammit! 

"You can send me back if you want. I won't retaliate." Kyra said.. Thinking of it, Oliver and Jennifer had solid reasons for their decision to support her brother.
