Sparks Return [Completed]

80: The Day Love Burned Brightly | Part 1

"I'm glad. Sorry someone passed the security. I'll-" I breathed out, worried for her.

"Emil, it's fine. You cannot shield me at all times and that's fine. I'm fine. Thank you for being here." She smiled, her now healed hand coming to touch my face. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to compose myself from the sudden intrusion those men did.

"But-"

"No buts. Besides, I am getting used to their attention. As long as they don't harm me, I'll be fine. Okay?" She smiled. Dio! She managed to smile despite the encounter. I couldn't help but breathe out the tension I felt. Resting my forehead on hers, I closed my eyes again.

"Give me a few seconds." I breathed out before the tension in my body that I never felt I had earlier dissipated. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that she also closed her eyes, relishing the silence we both had. With the flutter of her eyes opening, she was my remedy.

"Feeling better?" She asked in that damn soothing voice that she has.

"Yes." I kissed her forehead and stepped back.

"Let's go back to your room, miss. We can do the next exercises there." Riza who has stepped away a few feet away from us smiled.

"Good idea."

When Biya was back safely in her room, I instructed Milos to guard the door outside.

"Emil, don't be too harsh on them, okay?" She advised. She held my hand and gave it a tight squeeze.

"They barged in, Biya. They should know their limitations." I was angry that they got through. Should I provide tighter security? How did they get in?

"They didn't harm me or anything. Let them take pictures. Let your grandfather know that I am recovering well. That would be a slap on his face." She said.

"Are you sure?" I sighed and she smiled again. She is taking this situation better than me.

"I am sure. Now go. Don't be too harsh on them."

"I will never be this calm if it's not because of you." I huffed out to which she chuckled.

"That's true. Now go tell them."

"Tell them what?" She laughed again and I looked at her confused. What did I miss?

"Tell them the truth. That we're in a relationship. That I am feeling better. Tell them what they need to know." I just stared at her, surprised by the confidence she exuded. She was willing to tell the world what we have now... This was a moment I have dreamed of. To tell the world we were together. That she was mine and I was hers.

"For real? Is this how we're going to break it to the world?" I marched to her side, happy and a little bit nervous. She laughed.

"Yes. For real. Now go! Riza here will beat your ass up with my crutches if you continue to delay my session with her." Her therapist instantly held her hands in the air in a surrender.

"Gosh! I would never do that." She laughed again. I couldn't help but chuckle at the way Biya was turning the serious matter into a lighthearted one. Only she can defuse a bomb I would find difficult to figure out.

"Okay. I'll let you with your sessions now. I'll be back." I closed the gap between us and hugged her.

"Go shake the world with your news once more, love."

"You're my source of strength to make the world quake, baby." I replied kissing her quickly on the lips. She blushed, hiding against my chest.

"Stop! Riza is here." She grumbled against my chest and I laughed.
