LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 152. Fresh Blood
A loud crash echoed through the café, shattering the calm atmosphere that had moments earlier been filled with nothing more than the clinking of spoons against cups and the tapping of laptop keyboards. Several customers shot to their feet. Others could only stare in shock.Every eye turned toward the staircase.Aurelia's body lay crumpled at the bottom of the stairs, twisted onto her side. Her head had narrowly missed striking the hard wooden floor. Her breath caught in her throat as a sharp, agonizing pain shot through her lower abdomen and down her legs, making her entire body tremble violently."Oh my God!" a barista cried.The tray in her hands shook so badly she nearly dropped the cups of coffee balanced on it. She hurriedly set it on a nearby table and rushed over.Not far away, Kirana, who had been standing behind a pillar with a look of satisfaction moments earlier, instantly changed her expression. The smug smile that had briefly crossed her lips vanished, replaced by a mask
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 151. Kirana's Provocation
Aurelia stopped in front of a small café tucked away on a street corner. Her body felt drained, as if every step she'd taken since leaving Caca's house had been fueled by nothing but desperation. Her chest still ached from her last conversation with Gian. His words had cut deeper than any blade ever could.She needed space. A place to breathe, to calm the storm raging inside her mind and heart.Her gaze lifted to the café's simple sign. The rich aroma of coffee drifted through the glass door, carrying a strangely comforting warmth. Without giving it much thought, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.The café wasn't crowded. A few young couples sat together, absorbed in quiet conversations. In another corner, several college students worked on their laptops, occasionally laughing among themselves. But their voices felt distant to Aurelia. The noise around her was nothing more than a faint echo.She chose the wooden staircase leading to the second floor. The soft creak of each s
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 150. The Cruel Mother-in-Law
The late afternoon sky was washed in pale shades of orange, as if it were mirroring the turmoil in Lestari's heart. She sat on the edge of her bed with her head bowed, staring at the carpet beneath her feet. The only sound in the room was the steady ticking of the wall clock. Every now and then, a heavy sigh escaped her lips."How could Kirana...?" she murmured, barely audible.She covered her face with both hands, trying to hold back the wave of regret crashing over her.All this time, she had believed Kirana was a kind, polite young woman who could be relied on when things fell apart. She had even convinced herself that Kirana could serve as a bridge to keep her family together.But the truth that had come to light hit her like a slap across the face.The fact that Kirana had actually instructed Mbok Sumi to terrorize Aurelia was something she never could have imagined. Deep down, Lestari knew she shared part of the blame. She had given Kirana far too much access to her family and f
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 149. Your Wife Was Right
"Yes, sir. Lia said she wanted to be alone.""What the hell is wrong with you two?!"Gian exploded the moment he realized Aurelia had deliberately avoided him.His fists clenched, and his eyes blazed as he stared at Wulan and Doni."You think you're helping her by doing this? You're only making her more stressed out!"But Wulan didn't back down.She squared her shoulders, her face flushed with anger."Stressed out?" she shot back. "You're the one who's stressing her out, Mr. Gian!"Her voice rose sharply, striking Gian right where it hurt."Her parents never really cared about her, and her husband? God, her husband is always busy with work, busy with projects out of town, while Lia has to deal with everything by herself. She's pregnant, for crying out loud! Pregnant! Do you have any idea how vulnerable she is right now?"Gian blinked, stunned.Every word felt like a slap across the face."Wulan, that
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 148. A Wife's Heartbreak
"I can't do this anymore..."Aurelia's voice cracked between restrained sobs. Her shoulders shook, and her trembling hands clutched a tissue that was already soaked through with tears.The three of them sat in a quiet corner of campus near a small garden that was usually filled with students chatting or eating lunch. But today was different. There was only the soft breeze drifting through the trees and the occasional chirping of birds perched on nearby branches. The silence seemed to magnify the pain tearing through Aurelia's heart.Wulan looked at her friend with an aching heart. Aurelia's eyes were swollen from crying, her face pale, as though every bit of light inside her had burned out.Finally, unable to hold back her curiosity, Wulan asked softly, "So... who do you think told Mbok Sumi to do all that? Who could be cruel enough to put you through this?"Aurelia shook her head as her sobs grew stronger. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 147. Disappointed
"Sweetheart, let's go to our room first."Those were the words that finally left Gian's lips after standing there in silence for what felt like forever, watching Aurelia cry and plead without getting any answers. His voice was soft, almost hoarse, as if he were carrying something unbearably heavy on his chest.Aurelia shook her head in disbelief."Gian?" she whispered, her voice breaking.Her whole body trembled. She tried to pull away, but she didn't have the strength. Gian gently but firmly guided her toward the bedroom.Once the door closed behind them, Aurelia continued struggling.Her breathing came in ragged gasps, and her face had gone completely pale.Gian held her shoulders, trying to calm her down."Lia, please calm down. I'm here. No one is going to hurt you."But his words weren't enough.Aurelia didn't believe them.Her sobs only grew louder.Then a knock sounded from outside the room.
