LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 221. Flirting
"Hey, Aurelia! Did you finish the draft for tomorrow's project?"A man's voice broke the peaceful silence of the park at sunset.Aurelia turned, slightly surprised, before smiling."Yes, Daniel. I've got most of it done. I just need to polish it up tonight.""Great. We'll go over it together before class tomorrow, right?" Daniel asked with an easy smile."Of course. Don't worry. Everything's under control."Sitting beside Aurelia, Gian watched the man with an icy stare.His eyes narrowed as he silently sized up the stranger who spoke to his wife so comfortably.His expression remained unreadable, but the fire burning behind his eyes was impossible to miss.Aurelia stood and took a small step closer to Daniel."Oh, Daniel, this is my husband, Gian."There was unmistakable pride in her voice.Daniel looked surprised for a second before politely extending his hand."Nice to meet you, Gian. I've h
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 220. Who Could That Be?
Aurelia froze.The smile that had just bloomed across her face vanished the instant she recognized the man standing on the path. She slowly shook her head, unable to believe what she was seeing."G... Gian?" she whispered, as though even saying his name had become difficult.Her husband stood only a few steps away, tall and composed in a simple blue shirt. But there was something heavy in his eyes.He was supposed to be in Jakarta, thousands of miles away from Sydney.And yet, there he was.Gian didn't smile.His gaze remained fixed on her, sharp and searching, as though he were looking for answers to the confusion weighing on his heart.A moment later, he clicked his tongue softly.Then he spread his arms and said, "Aren't you going to hug me?"Aurelia froze all over again.Her whole body felt hot and cold at the same time.There was an emotional distance in his voice, as though what should have bee

Aurelia was still organizing her workshop notes on her lap. She flipped through the pages filled with handwritten annotations while absentmindedly twirling a pen between her fingers, as if the motion helped her sort through everything she'd learned.The park was quiet that afternoon. Only the cries of seagulls flying overhead and the distant laughter of children broke the silence.Then she heard footsteps.Slow.Steady.And carrying a rhythm that felt strangely familiar.Aurelia instinctively looked up.The figure standing in front of the park bench made her heart skip a beat."Bas..." she breathed, her voice caught somewhere between surprise and delight.Baskara stood with the walking path behind him.The sleeves of his casual shirt were rolled up to his elbows, revealing strong forearms. His hair was slightly tousled by the afternoon breeze, yet his expression remained as calm as ever. His gentle gaze carried th
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 218. A Packed Schedule
Aurelia’s days in Sydney quickly settled into a demanding routine. The short course required discipline and complete focus. Every morning, she left early with her notebook, laptop, and an abundance of determination, even if traces of exhaustion still lingered on her face.Her classroom was always alive with discussion. Professors and guest lecturers constantly challenged the participants to think critically, connecting theory with real-world cases. At first, Aurelia had felt self-conscious because her English sounded stiff, but little by little, she grew more comfortable. She learned to take notes quickly, express her opinions clearly, and even found the confidence to ask questions.Sophia, whom the university had assigned as her mentor, was always around between classes. She wasn't there to study but to make sure Aurelia adjusted smoothly, helping with everything from transportation and paperwork to everyday necessities."Don't worry. If you need anything
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 217. It's Easy for Me
Morning in Sydney felt different from Melbourne.Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, casting soft patterns across the dorm room floor. Aurelia slowly opened her eyes, her body still heavy with fatigue. But it wasn't the morning light that had woken her.It was the memory of last night.The mysterious figure standing outside the dormitory still lingered vividly in her mind.Tall.Standing perfectly still.Staring straight through the window where she'd been standing.And then...Gone without a trace.Who was that? Why did it feel like he was watching me?Aurelia rubbed her face, trying to shake off the uneasiness.“Maybe it was just someone passing by,” she murmured.But deep down, she knew that stare hadn't been a coincidence.She headed to the bathroom, splashed cold water on her face, and looked into the mirror.She looked tired.Her eyes were slightly swollen after a restless night's sleep.The unsettling feeling still hadn't faded.Just then, her phone rang.Her mother's

"Enough. Stop lying. Just admit it."Gian's words made Rafi wince."Be honest," Gian pressed.In the end, Rafi nodded, his eyes squeezed shut."So I really do look that bad?" Gian asked, needing confirmation that he'd truly fallen that far in Aurelia's eyes. Maybe he had. Maybe she was right.“N-No, sir,” Rafi said quickly, though he stumbled over his words.“Then what is it?” Gian asked, suddenly desperate for reassurance.“In my opinion... you've just lost some weight. And you look exhausted because you've been working too much. Th-That's all, sir,” Rafi answered honestly.Gian muttered under his breath before grabbing the mirror from his desk.“When am I scheduled to visit that new project?” he asked after studying his reflection.“According to the schedule, sir, it'll launch in Sydney in two weeks,” Rafi replied promptly.Gian slowly nodded.A dozen ideas immediately began taking shape in his mind.“All right. You can go.”After his assistant left, Gian quickly checked his phone.

Gian didn’t answer. Only a long, heavy silence filled the room, swallowing whatever courage Aurelia had left. She shut her eyes, desperately hoping for an explanation—anything. But all she heard was the faint rustle of fabric as Gian shifted on the sofa.Minutes passed before a voice finally broke
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 2. The Beginning of Disaster
Aurelia didn’t sleep a single second. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ceiling, the cracks forming strange shapes, like a spiderweb slowly tightening around her. She felt trapped, and today that web was pulling her straight into the center of her ruin.Devina’s last words echoed in her skull like a cur

“You’re going to take your sister’s place and marry Mr. Gian.”The words fell from her father’s mouth with a coldness that sliced straight through her bones. As if he were asking her to run to the corner store for salt, not telling her to hand over her entire life to a man she’d never even met.Aur
