"Don't thank me. And, I think this is fate we met again." Oliver told her.
When he met Kyra at twin's birthday, he didn't move on from his first love, not completely. Not yet...
It still pained him a lot when he thought of his first love and he badly wanted a strong push, a motivation to move on and not finding that motivation frustrated him a lot.
It was exactly when Kyra showed up and the short time he spent with her made him realize that he never felt like this with his first love.
What he felt for Kyra was magical and that spark was not there in his first relationship.
Then, he understood he had nothing else to hold on to his first love anymore and it was time to move on with his life.
In short, Kyra helped him at the time he needed the most. He felt indebted to her and today, he was there when she needed the most.
What could it be if it isn't fate?
"Yes. It's indeed fate we met.", Kyra said with a sweet smile. When she met Oliver at that time, she was confused about what she felt for her savior.
Is it just gratitude or more than that? Do both of them really share a special bond or, was it simply her imagination? Did she really feel different towards him?
These kinds of questions bothered her a lot and when she met Oliver, she realized that she and her savior didn't have any special, one in a million bond as she thought.
She felt the same type of special bond when she danced with Oliver.
Even today, the sense of security she felt when he was with her just proved that it could happen with anyone if she holds them special in her heart.
"Good night," she told him and after exchanging a few words, they parted their ways.
When Kyra entered the house and everyone was sitting, waiting for her.
They are worried about her and the recent traumatic episode she had made everyone even more worried about her.
What if her traumatic episodes become frequent from now on?
"Hi guys.", Kyra greeted them as she took a quick glance at the ten figures in the room who were now looking at her.
"You fine, Ky?" Sofia, her best friend asked as she hurried towards Kyra and hugged her.
Chloe, who is also her best friend, is worried but she is not the type of person to show physical affection in public so, she sat down, with her eyes intensely looking at Kyra.
'I am fine, Sofi. See, I am never this better." Kyra smiled, her happiness evident in her sparkling eyes.
Everyone could only look at each other in confusion. Here, they are worried that she would break down as soon as she comes home but she is smiling instead!!
"Mom, I think my little sis is going through some emotional stress. She is acting weird", Kyra's fourth brother whispered to his mother.
"I think the same." his identical twin, Kyra's fifth brother agreed for the first time with his brother in ages.
"Honey, there is no need to pretend like you are fine. We are your family and we are here to help you. Don't try to be strong for us" This time her step father Charles spoke, kissing her forehead.
"Dad, I am really fine. I was not fine before but I am totally fine now. Actually, I am happy," Kyra explained patiently.
"Are you sure, Kyra?", her third brother William asked.
"I am. Honestly, I am disappointed that I am not strong enough to face my biological mother but I realized that all I need is time and patience. I overcame my nightmares and I can overcome this as well." Kyra said with newly found optimism.
Her words amazed everyone. She is not like this, not usually. When it comes to her past, her strong, stubborn nature morphs into a pessimistic and fearful one. But this time she doesn't look that affected.
"Fine. But please tell us immediately if anything happens.", her second brother said.
"I promise.", Kyra smiled.
"Tomorrow the twins are asking for camping. Is it okay for you, dear?", her mother asked Kyra after a few seconds.
"It's sunday and I don't have any shifts in the hospital. So, I am free.", Kyra answered.
"Tomorrow at 10 am?" her first brother, father of the twins asked.
"Okay." Kyra answered.
-----------------
"So, you were with Mr. Oliver till now?". Chloe asked as soon as Kyra came out from the bath.
"Yep.", Kyra answered with a smile.
"And??" Chloe enquired as she moved close to Kyra as they settled on the bed. Sofia just went to bathe, so they were alone.
"He is that stranger I met at my twin's birthday party a few weeks back. The highlight here is he felt our short meeting was special and the feelings we had were mutual. Even today, while I encountered my mother, he was there with me and I have to tell, he gave me a sense of protection which I thought was exclusive to me as a savior", Kyra filled her best friend.
Chloe was excited that she wanted to interject in the middle but when she saw the sparkle in Kyra's eyes and how her lips widened with a loving smile, she didn't have the heart to do so. Instead, she observed how Kyra's emotions were morphing into.
"Is that the reason why you are so happy now?"Chloe asked.
"Of course." Kyra answered as she snuggled into her blanket and closed her eyes.
Chloe smiled. 'It seems like Oliver impacts Kyra's emotions more than I predicted.' she thought inside. He was able to erase the after effects of trauma episodes in Kyra totally that she was smiling so happily.
'I hope you are her cure.', she thought before closing her eyes.
