Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

By the time Kyra, Luther, Sofia, Ryan returned, it was almost middle of night. 

Kyra was long asleep and so was Sofia. 

"I will carry Sofia to her room and can you do that for Kyra?" Ryan asked, taking Luther by surprise. 

Kyra's brothers are so possessive that they hardly let others do things for their sister. 

Carrying to bed? 

He never thought he would listen to this from Kyra's most possessive brother, Ryan. 

"What?" Luther asked. 

"Carry Kyra to her room. I would have done it but I am feeling weak and after I carry Sofia, I would be drained." Ryan replied. 

"Ok… okay" Luther agreed as he gingerly lifted Kyra in the princess position. 

"Which floor and which room?" he asked Ryan who was already walking towards the door, with Sofia in his arms. 

"First floor, the right most room." Ryan answered. 

Luther nodded his head and looked at Kyra. She usually wakes up even with the slightest disturbance. 

She only lets her guards down when she is with the people she trusts the most. This is her subconscious reflex that got developed after she went through her trauma. 

Looking at her peaceful face, he could tell that she trusts him very much. Otherwise she wouldn't be this guardless. 

'Will my confession to her change her trust towards me if she rejects it?' he questioned himself as he carried Kyra to her room. 

Opening the door, he walked to her bed and deposited her on it. After that, he tucked her carefully under her duvet. 

He was about to leave but looking at her peaceful face, he couldn't help but sit down on the edge of the bed. 

With uttermost cautiousness, he tucked the strands of her hair beneath her ear. 

With a doting smile, he caressed her hair. 'Kyra, I hope you give me a chance. I promise that I won't disappoint you. I will treat you like a queen' he thought. 

After looking at his sleeping beauty for God knows how long, he stood up and walked around. 

He could see the traces of her hardwork on the bundles of the printed papers lying on the table of the small study room joined to her room. 

She has underlined many important points and scribbled a few of her own, here and there. They are all the research papers, documents of the surgeries and conferences. 

"She is still the same" he whispered to himself as he scanned the document that was lying on the floor too. 

Then he walked to the wall where a small board was filled with the remainders and her upcoming schedule. 

Although she has electronic copies of everything in her laptop, iPad and phone, she loves to write things down on paper. 

She says that it gives her the vibes to work more diligently. 

Luther's attention was caught by the paper which contained Kyra's surgery schedules of the week. 

"Dr. Miller, Dr. Lopez, Dr. Smith." he read as his finger stopped at the slot of the morning schedule of the next day. 

"Dr. Miller again." he said as his finger moved to the afternoon surgery. 

"Dr. Miller, again" he said as he saw the day after tomorrow's schedule. 

"Dr. Miller, Dr. Smith." Luther read as his finger stopped at the schedule of the day two days from now. 

Kyra's plan is packed. It mostly consisted of surgeries and besides that, some diagnostic meetings, fellow meetings were also there. 

Luther's focus was, however, on the surgeries scheduled. It bothered him that Kyra is performing almost ninety five percent of her surgeries with Dr. Oliver Miller, the suspected competition to him. 

"They should be having a pretty good partnership. Otherwise they wouldn't be assigned together for complex surgeries like these." He muttered to himself. 

Although Kyra is a gifted, hardworking surgeon, she is not considered an expert. She started her career as a surgeon not long ago, so she might need two to three years or so to become an expert. 

So, letting her into these many surgeries only means that her and Oliver's partnership has started giving a very good success rate. 

Luther curled his fingers into fist. 

He and Kyra used to be such partners. Now, Oliver snatched his position! 

'It won't be long till he takes my position as Kyra's favorite person outside her family.' Luther thought and his eyes brimmed with determination. 

Meanwhile, Ryan had seen everything that has happened now. The main objective for allowing Luther to go into his sister's room is to let him see it with his own eyes. 

'Hope I am doing the right thing.' Ryan thought and walked to Luther. 

"Looking at her schedule? It's pretty hectic, isn't it?" he asked, making Luther startled for a bit. 

"Ryan, you startled me." he said as he patted his heart. 

"Yeah ..yeah. It is. Her schedule was not this packed when she was working in London at Collins." Luther answered Ryan's question. 

"Yeah. We all were protective of her and pampered her a lot that we couldn't bear to see her overwork." Ryan said and both chuckled at the same time. 

"I think my sister didn't like it. Maybe that is the reason she wanted a change. She might have wanted to experience the real, stressful life of a surgeon." Ryan added. 

"Maybe." Luther agreed as he looked at Kyra through the glass wall that separates her bedroom and this small working place. 

"It seems like she doesn't want special treatment. But what can we do? After seeing her suffer, we all are reluctant to let her out of comfort. That's why we are at a disadvantage."

"Sometimes, knowing too much about the person we love could put us at disadvantage. We won't dare to make any move that could possibly hurt them."

"Being so meticulous and cautious would take us nowhere in these types of situations. Whereas the people who don't know too much about the person would be able to progress faster compared to us " 

"Don't you think that is the reason a girl falls for the man she met not very long ago compared to the Nan she knew from years ago?" Ryan asked. 

"What?" Luther asked, take off guard. What is Ryan trying to tell him?? 

"I am talking about Sofia, Luther. I have known her for so long. I have known her for years, yet I can't move her heart. Whereas that famous designer was able to attract Sofia's attention more than me."

"I am meticulous towards her as I know that she is sensitive and has gone through some mishaps."

"However, that designer doesn't know much about her and that's why he is able to make some dashing moves towards her, making her feel special and adventurous. I hope I can put aside my cautious nature and make my move before it's too late." Ryan ended his speech. 

"Thanks bro. Thanks for listening to me, patiently. You are the only one who I can talk to." Ryan said, patting Luther's shoulder. 

Luther, who was deep in thought, returned to his normal state and nodded his head. 

"Anytime, bro " he quickly answered but the storm in his mind is evident from the look in his eyes. 

"Come on, I will show you your room. Feel free to stay as long as you want. After all, you are Kyra's best friend." Ryan told Luther as they walked out of Kyra's room after turning off the lights and ensuring that Kyra had her duvet on. 

"Good night." Luther said as he put his bag in the guest room. 

"Good night. And Luther, I will be accompanying Sofia on her trip and I would be returning only after a couple of days or so. Please help me look after Kyra, will you?" Ryan asked. 

"No need to mention that, Ryan. I will always be there to look after Kyra." Luther sincerely answered. 

"I know that, bro. However,I can't rest in peace as this city is where Kyra's mother and her family lives. We don't know what might happen, right?"

"I wouldn't be going if not for that designer!! He is the personal designer of Sofia and he is part of this tour. What if he makes a move on my girl??"

"It's my responsibility to keep her from other men." Ryan said and with a wink, he closed the door. 

'I hope you understood my hidden message, Luther. I hope you will leave being cautious towards Kyra and make a move.'

'As long as you are the first person to ask her for a chance, she will give it to you. She owes you so much, she won't say no. You are my last hope.' Ryan thought. 

He would have told Luther directly but he can't. He can't risk saying everything directly as it is risky. The person on the other side of the stick is his sister and if any mishap happens, it would ruin his relationship with his sister. 

Meanwhile, Luther has actually decoded Ryan's hidden message. But, he didn't suspect that Ryan told everything intentionally. After all, Ryan and Sofia's situation is not very different. The story fits perfectly…

...

The next morning. 

Kyra has actually kept the alarm and woke up early. 

It didn't surprise her that she was on her bed. Her brother should have carried her here. 

And, the reason she has turned her alarm on is because she wanted to invite Oliver to morning cycling even before he could get ready and go somewhere else to do that. 

She has something to tell him....
