Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior - Chapter 155

She was about to call him again but the door opened, making her turn her head to look at the person who entered the room.

“Jennifer?” Kyra called. Although she sounded normal, her heart started to beat so fastly. After all Jennifer is her best friend with whom she is about to reconcile.

“Yes, it’s me. The important person he mentioned is none other than me, Alex.” Jennifer said, stressing on the word ‘Alex’ which is Kyra’s nickname during her high school times.

When Kyra heard Jennifer’s last sentence, her mind went into a total shock. For a few seconds, she forgot how to breathe as well.

All she could do is to widen her eyes and stare at Jennifer.

Jennifer chuckled.

“You are cute like always.” Jennifer said and for which Kyra blushed.

Jennifer couldn’t help her laughter anymore.

“Still the same. God! I missed you” she said in the midst of her laughter and sob.

It’s been already a few seconds and Kyra’s mind has started to recompose itself.

“Florence.” Kyra whispered as she stood up.

“I… I missed you too.” Kyra managed to speak. Her golden hazel eyes started to blur with the happy tears.

“I can’t be formal anymore.” Jennifer / Florence uttered as she sprinted towards Kyra to hug her.

Kyra reciprocated the hug and both the girls started to cry silently.

Kyra’s tears started to wet Jennifer’s shirt and in the same way, Jennifer’s tears started to wet Kyra’s top.

“You are such a crybaby. Like always.” Jennifer chuckled as she wiped her tears.

“Your mood swings are terrible like always.” Kyra said as she chuckled.

“Let me have a good look at my friend.” saying so, Jennifer held Kyra’s face and started to closely look at Kyra.

Kyra blushed again.

When Kyra joined Jennifer’s high school, she was just an innocent, naive country bumpkin.

The sudden transitioning from a normal local school to elite, posh school made it difficult for Kyra to adapt and adjust.

Jennifer was her very first friend and that is why she is very important to Kyra.

Jennifer was kind and friendly which made Kyra feel at ease and quickly adjust. Since the first day they met, they have become good friends.

However, Kyra was a crybaby at that time. She used to get frightened and scared of simple things.

That behaviour of hers changed only after a few months but for Jennifer, Kyra is always a crybaby she met in the beginning.

“Look wise, you haven’t changed much but why did I fail to recognise you?” Jennifer asked.

“Maybe because of that little disguise I use.” Kyra said.

“Yes, that’s fine. I know why I couldn’t recognise you in the hospital but I remember that I have seen you at a hotel once. You didn’t have any disguise back then. Still, I failed to recognise you.” Jennifer said.

She seems to be taking it seriously.

“Maybe you couldn’t recognise me because I was dead according to you back then. Moreover, I am not the gullible, sweet Alex anymore. My aura and character has changed a lot, so you couldn’t map me with Alex from eight years back.” Kyra told Jennifer.

“Yeah. You changed a lot, my best buddy. I can’t forget how you fought those attackers in the operation theatre. And, your personality has become quite powerful. Although I like sweet, cute Alex from before, I prefer the strong, powerful you.” Jennifer said.

Kyra smiled.

“I have to be strong. I can’t let others take advantage of me. I already had enough.” Kyra said as she looked at her hands.

Jennifer could only purse her lips and pay Kyra’s hands as a gesture of comfort.

“I am sorry, Flo – sorry – Jennifer. I am sorry for lashing on you that day. You were trying to protect me that time and you have done that for my own good but I, a fool, foolishly taken the side of the Roberts family.”

“I have not only broken our friendship but disrespected you at that time. I am extremely sorry for that. I have been carrying this guilt for so long that it started crushing me.” Kyra apologized sincerely.

Jennifer shook her head with a sweet smile.

“Even I was at fault back then. I knew that your biological mother saved you from hell and brought you to this city. At that time, she was like an angel in your eyes and the Roberts family was like a real family to you.”

“You were very protective of them. I should have tried to explain my suspicion step by step to you instead of dumping it on you all of a sudden. I made them look like monsters while their image in your eyes at that time was no less to angels.”

“Even if I was in your place, I would have reacted in the same manner. It was too much to take in alone, believe it. I am sorry” Jennifer apologized to Kyra.

“Done apologize, Jennifer.” Kyra said, holding her friend’s hand.

“You too. It was the circumstances that were at fault. Anyway, you are fine now and that’s what matters.” Jennifer said.

“Yeah. Although I suffered a lot, I ended up in good condition now. I got the loving family for which I was craving from very long.”

“I became a doctor just like I wished for. Everything is fine now.” Kyra said.

“You even got a wonderful boyfriend, my dear.” Jennifer teased.

Kyra didn’t know what to say as Jennifer once loved Oliver sincerely. She didn’t know how to reply to this while making sure she didn’t hurt Jennifer’s feelings.

“So, you know.” Jennifer chuckled.

“Oliver told me. I have seen how close you both are so, in order to avoid misunderstandings he had to explain. It’s not his fault.” Kyra said, defending Oliver.

“So Protective.” Jennifer chuckled again.

“And, it’s fine. He had to explain. You are his girlfriend after all, ” she added.

“I am over him. It’s been years and I was a lot immature and strong headed back then. I had a crush on him from childhood, so I mistakenly took those feelings as love.”

“It indeed took time to get over him as the crush on him was strong and was there from long back. But he had a point back then.”

“Love shouldn’t be forced and the love he had for me is purely sisterly love. Now, I am over him. He is my best friend for whom I care so much.” Jennifer said.

Kyra only nodded her head.

Although Jennifer is making it sound like she doesn’t care much about it, she actually does.

After all, he rejected her.

“If you don’t mind, can I ask you what happened after we cut our friendship? What I meant to ask is, “How did you end up in London with the Collins family?” Jennifer asked to divert the topic.

She can tell that Oliver will be the awkward topic between them.

Kyra sighed and then she narrated how she got betrayed, sold to human trafficking and how the military have saved them and how she ended up in a sanctuary where she got her depression treatment.

Then she explained how she got the admission in Oxford and how her saviour from earlier has sponsored to send her to med school.

She also explained how she met Catherine Collins, her sister in law Hope, who is god sister of Oliver.

“Like that I got familiar with all the members of Collins family and I don’t know when and how it happened but we all got pretty close.”

“Then, all of a sudden they said they wanted to legally adopt me. I hesitated af first. In fact, I got scared by how well they were treating me.”

“It made me remind of my previous family but I decided to take a step this time. After all, I had nothing to lose that time.”

“So, after three years of knowing them, I said yes and in no time I became Collins.” Kyra ended her story.

“How do they treat you? Are they good to you?” Jennifer asked.

She knows that Collins family is very reputed and good by heart. However, that is how they potray themselves to the world. They might be totally different personally.

“Just by seeing how happy and how good I am living, you can easily tell that they treats me very well.”

“My brothers spoil me and my parents dote on me. The friends I made there are also genuine and caring. I am living the best years og my life, Jennifer.” Kyra assured her friend.

“It’s good then. It’s good.” Jennifer said.

“So, how do Oliver treats you? He is good by heart but I rarely see him exhibit deep emotions towards other person, excluding his sister of course.” Jennifer asked.

“He is very good to me. I got to see the caring, loving side of him. I am really blessed to have wonderful people like you guys in my life, Jennifer..” Kyra said, getting emotional.
