The silence felt more suffocating than any argument ever could.

Ever since Aurelia's fall at the café yesterday afternoon, Gian had been unable to escape the guilt gnawing relentlessly at his chest. The memory of the report about blood running down his wife's legs still haunted him, along with the image of Aurelia's pale face that had nearly stopped his heart.

He remembered it all too clearly.

    The silence felt more suffocating than any argument ever could.Ever since Aurelia's fall at the café yesterday afternoon, Gian had been unable to escape the guilt gnawing relentlessly at his chest. The memory of the report about blood running down his wife's legs still haunted him, along with the image of Aurelia's pale face that had nearly stopped his heart.He remembered it all too clearly.Aurelia lying in the hospital bed. Her breathing steady, but her eyes cold and empty.There had been no anger. No screaming.And somehow, that was what crushed Gian the most.He sat beside her bed, his hands clasped together restlessly.“Lia...” he called softly, as if afraid his voice might break.But Aurelia simply turned her face toward the window.She did not even glance at him.Gian's heart sank.This was the cruelest punishment of all. Not shouting. Not tears.Silence.A silence

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   153. Too Late

    The report came in only seconds after the first update. The voice on the other end sounded professional and composed, but to Gian, the words felt like a hammer crashing down on his skull."You should head straight to the hospital, sir. The ambulance has already arrived. It was Mrs. Aurelia who fell."It felt as though the world collapsed around him.Gian slammed his fist against the steering wheel. The impact echoed through the car. His breathing turned ragged, his shoulders rising and falling violently. His entire body trembled as his fingers tightened around the wheel until his knuckles turned white."Damn it! How could I be this careless?" he hissed through clenched teeth.His mind spiraled, consumed by a single name.Aurelia.His wife.The woman carrying their child.Images of her flashed through his head, accompanied by a crushing wave of guilt that squeezed the air from his lungs.Without another thought, Gi

  • 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
