LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 126. Gian Loses His Temper
That afternoon, the sky looked gloomy even though there was no rain.Aurelia walked toward the gates of Mr. Baskara’s grand house with the polite smile she had practiced during the drive over. Mbok Sri greeted her at the front door right away, the older woman’s face lighting up with relief.“Thank goodness you came, Miss Aurel. Little Miss Caca’s been down all day. She doesn’t want to play, and she won’t even eat,” she said softly while brushing aside the gray strands falling over her temple.Aurelia lowered her gaze for a moment, her heart tightening. “I’ll go see her, Mbok.”As soon as she stepped inside, her feet carried her straight to the small study room beside the back garden.Caca sat there quietly with her chin resting on the desk, spinning a pencil between her fingers. Her math book lay open, untouched.“Caca…” Aurelia’s voice was soft, barely abov
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 125. Just Leave It Alone
‘I never expected this… after everything that happened, Mother still chose Kirana’s side. She still opened her heart this wide for her, Aurelia thought, her eyes fixed on the figures behind the restaurant’s glass wall.Inside, Mrs. Lestari sat across from Kirana. The two of them looked incredibly close, as if no painful past had ever existed between them. The warm smile on her mother-in-law’s face, the smile Aurelia had longed for all this time, was now being given completely to the woman who had caused so much damage in her marriage.Without thinking, Aurelia tightened her grip on Gian’s arm.She glanced at him briefly, hoping he had not noticed the trembling in her fingers, but his gaze had already followed the direction of hers.Gian gently touched the back of her hand. “Don’t let this ruin your day, hm? We came here to have lunch together. You promised you’d enjoy today with me, remember?
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 124. They’re Really Close
“Welcome to my paradise!!”Aurelia squealed happily as she and Gian finally opened the door to their apartment. The familiar space greeted them with sunlight streaming through the sheer curtains and the aroma of coffee drifting from the automatic machine in the kitchen. She bounced lightly on her feet as she closed the door behind them, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“Even though your mother’s mansion has everything, I still like it better here,” Aurelia said as she patted the couch she had clearly missed.Gian nodded with a smile, gazing at his wife fondly. “I’m happy too, because I get to see my wife in a bikini whenever I want.”Aurelia shot him a sharp look, pretending to glare even as her cheeks flushed pink. “Gian?”Seeing her blushing face only made him more amused. Unable to resist, he gave her butt a playful squeeze. Aurelia let out a soft yelp, laughing as she swatted his ha
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 123. Gian’s Suspicion
Gian stepped outside and let out a quiet breath of relief when he saw a tall man standing there in a sarong, a flashlight in hand. The sound of crickets echoed in the distance, making the night feel even stranger. The man lowered his head slightly, his voice rough.“My apologies, Sir,” he said. “Ujang mentioned someone came by earlier. He thought maybe they were just passing through or something.”Gian raised a brow, his sharp gaze fixed on the man even though his tone remained calm. “That’s all the information you have?”The man sighed before continuing carefully. “Ujang tried chasing after them, Sir, but lost the trail. Probably just someone who got lost. The person ran off right away, like they were scared Ujang might bother them. You know what Ujang looks like. He can be pretty intimidating. At least, that’s what he said.”Gian gave a short nod, his jaw tightening. “Next time, don’t let anyone come near this place. My wife got frightened.”“Yes, Sir. Understood. I’ll keep a much c
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 122. Let’s just go home
“Let’s just go home. I’m scared.”Aurelia said it softly, almost like a whisper caught in her throat. Her eyes trembled with worry as she looked at Gian, who was still lying casually beside her. Her heart pounded faster, not only because of the lingering intimacy they had just shared, but also because the atmosphere of this old house felt heavier the deeper the night grew.Gian smiled. It was not just a reassuring smile, but also a silent promise that she was safe with him. He pulled Aurelia into his arms, holding her tightly as if refusing to let fear creep back in. With his other hand, he grabbed the blanket that had slipped halfway down and pulled it back over both of them.A warm kiss landed gently on the top of Aurelia’s head. Simple, yet enough to ease some of the tension from her shoulders.“Alright, sweetheart. We’ll go home tomorrow morning. For now, let’s get some sleep,” he murmured softly.Aurelia blinked several times, her mind still unable to settle completely. The shado
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 121. Someone Else Was There
Morning sunlight slipped through the thin curtains, painting golden patterns across the aged wooden walls. The air still felt damp, carrying the lingering scent of last night’s rain-soaked earth. Aurelia stirred slightly, her eyes slowly fluttering open. It took her a moment to realize she was not in the apartment, but in Gian’s grandmother’s old house.The ticking of the antique wall clock was the only sound filling the room. The rocking chair in the corner swayed gently, as though brushed by the wind. Aurelia looked around and smiled faintly when she noticed the dining table in the distance had already been neatly set. From the kitchen came the soft clinking of a spoon against a glass.“Morning’s already here, and you’re still too lazy to get up.”Gian’s warm voice echoed from the kitchen. He walked out with an apron hanging loosely around his neck, carrying two steaming cups of hot tea.Aurelia pushed herself upright, pulling the blanket away from her legs. “I was too comfortable l
