The house suddenly felt frozen.

The air, which had seemed perfectly normal moments ago, now pressed in from every direction. Aurelia stood rigid, her fingers still wrapped around Mbok Sumi's wrist as if she were being dragged into darkness itself. The older woman's body shook violently. Tears streamed down her face, and her broken sobs filled the air, making it seem as though the entire house could hear her anguish.

"Ma'am... I can't take this anymore..." Mbok Sumi whispered thr

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   235. She Came Home in Secret

    “Sweetheart, I’m so sorry...” Gian’s voice came through the phone, rough with exhaustion he could no longer hide. “I had everything planned to bring you home myself, but something urgent came up. I have to attend a major event in Singapore. International clients, sponsors, the media... everyone’s expecting me.”Aurelia sat on the edge of her dorm room bed in Sydney, absently twisting the corner of her blanket between her fingers. A faint smile touched her lips, though a dull ache settled in her chest. She understood how demanding Gian’s work was. Some responsibilities simply couldn't be set aside.“It’s okay, sweetheart. I understand,” she said softly. “Your work is important. Besides, I don’t mind flying home on my own.”“No, sweetheart. Please wait for me until next week,” Gian insisted. “I feel terrible about this. I promise that as soon as the event is over,

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   234. Two Pink Lines

    Gian stood frozen.The small pregnancy test with its two pink lines seemed to stop time itself.He stared at it in silence, his breathing slow and heavy, as though his mind refused to accept what was right in front of him.Aurelia waited.Her eyes shimmered with tears.She fought to keep herself together, but as the seconds passed without a single word from Gian, her resolve crumbled.Her voice broke, raw and trembling as it shattered the silence filling the hotel room."I'm pregnant, and you're still talking about leaving this world?!"The words came out with a sob she could no longer hold back.Gian flinched.Without another thought, he shook his head and pulled her tightly into his arms, holding her as if he wanted to keep every part of her close."I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice filled with regret.Aurelia pounded weakly against his chest with trembling fists."You're so mean!" she cri

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   233. Talking About Death

    Gian let out a long breath, his eyes fixed on the sky as it slowly turned shades of violet."I was just... thinking.""Life is unpredictable.""I don't want to leave you alone in this world.""But at the same time..." He paused, his voice growing quieter. "I can't bear the thought of someone else taking my place beside you."Aurelia fell silent.She tightened her fingers around his hand, as though searching for something to hold onto."Don't say things like that," she finally whispered."You're here. You're healthy.""And I..." Her voice trembled as she struggled to continue. "...I don't even want to imagine a life without you."Gian's expression softened.There was tenderness in his eyes, but also a quiet sadness.He lowered his head and gently pressed a reverent kiss to the back of her hand."I just wanted to know...""...how deeply you love me."Aurelia looked at him, tears sh

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   232. I'm Not Going Anywhere

    "I'm right here. It's okay."Aurelia's whisper was so soft it nearly disappeared into the silence of the hotel room.The dim lamp in the corner cast a gentle glow across the room, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and fragile. She climbed back into bed and wrapped her arms around Gian, who continued to toss and turn in his sleep. His breathing came in uneven bursts, and unintelligible words slipped from his lips as though he were being chased by nightmares only he could see.Slowly, the warmth of Aurelia's embrace soothed him.His breathing steadied.The tension left his jaw.His face gradually relaxed into a peaceful expression.Aurelia nestled closer, resting her cheek against his broad chest."You don't have to be afraid. I'm not going anywhere," she whispered again.Her voice was barely audible, yet somehow it reached him through his nightmare.Moments later, her own eyelids grew heavy. Sleep clai

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   231. I'm Still Upset

    "I still don't trust you, Gian!"Aurelia's voice rang through the car as she folded her arms across her chest. She turned toward the window, refusing to look at her husband's pale face.Gian took a slow breath, trying to keep his attention on the road."Sweetheart, I was just worried. That's all.""Worried?" Aurelia scoffed, narrowing her eyes. "Worried enough to have someone follow me? What am I, a little kid who's going to get lost in a grocery store?""I didn't mean it like that.""Then what did you mean?" She whipped around to face him, her eyes blazing even though her voice trembled. "I disappear for a little while, and you act like your whole world has ended. Gian, I'm your wife, not your prisoner."Silence settled between them.The car rolled through the busy city streets.Gian lowered his head slightly, his face growing even paler.Aurelia let out an exasperated sigh, though a small flicker of gui

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   230. You Knew All Along

    "Mr. Gian has arrived."The announcement echoed through the steel-walled room that had served as Aurelia's hiding place since the previous night.She immediately stopped stacking the dishes in front of her and looked toward the mysterious man guarding the door."What did you say?" she asked, her voice catching in her throat. "He's here already?"The man gave a brief nod.Aurelia quickly glanced at the watch on her wrist.9:10 a.m.That meant Gian had needed only about two hours to arrange a private flight from Jakarta to Sydney.Two hours.To cross thousands of miles.For her.Something stirred deep inside her chest.A mixture of admiration, anger, and unease.She knew Gian was capable of doing something this reckless.Even so, seeing it become reality left her deeply shaken.She couldn't stop herself from feeling touched.At the same time, anger surged through her.

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   1. A Sacrifice

    “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

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   101. An Exceptional Assistant

    Makassar greeted Gian with sharp, sweltering heat mixed with the salty scent of the sea drifting through the air. From the window of the rental car, he watched rows of coconut trees lining the roadside, their leaves swaying lazily in the breeze. The sky stretched out in a pale blue, broken only by

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   46. Bathing Together

    Warm steam filled the bathroom. A thin layer of fog began forming on the large mirror above the sink. Morning sunlight filtered through the slatted window, casting soft reflections that shimmered across the white marble walls.Gian adjusted the faucet, making sure the water was warm enough

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   25. Older Man

    “Don, seriously?! You’re just letting it happen? Lia’s gonna get snatched by that old guy!!”The voice came from one of Aurelia’s friends, still laughing as she hugged her soda bottle while staring toward the darker corner of the dance floor where Aurelia was
