The cool Melbourne night drifted through a gap in the curtains that hadn't been fully closed. The breeze slipped into the room, causing the sheer drapes to sway gently and the dim bedside lamp to flicker ever so slightly.

Outside, the city lights sparkled like scattered jewels below.

Inside the hotel room, however, the lingering tension still hung in the air.

"How was I supposed to know you knew Baskara? Is this my fault too?" Aurelia snapped, her voice rising sharply. Th

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   265. Thank you, Darling

    Aurelia sat at the dining table with a blissful expression, almost like a child enjoying her favorite meal. Steam rose gently from the freshly cooked pepes ikan, filling the dining room with the mouthwatering aroma of spices.“Sorry, Mom. I know this was supposed to be for dinner, but I couldn't wait. I only had steamed sweet potatoes earlier,” she said between bites.She made no attempt to hide how much she was enjoying the meal.Mrs. Lestari smiled warmly. “It's all right, sweetheart. I'm actually happy you like it. Want some more?”Aurelia nodded eagerly, her eyes lighting up as her mother-in-law placed another large mackerel in front of her. She added another serving of warm white rice and the last few shrimp crackers from the glass jar.Round two of Aurelia's feast officially began.Meanwhile, her mother-in-law simply sat across from her with a cup of jasmine tea, watching her daughter-in-law eat with ge

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   264. The Dilemma

    Aurelia stared at the laptop screen without blinking.The morning light filtering through the tent made the words on the screen appear brighter than usual, almost as if it were highlighting every sentence that now had her heart beating faster.[Good morning, Aurelia. I have reviewed the revisions to Chapters 2 and 3 that you submitted. Your research demonstrates a depth of analysis that I rarely encounter at the graduate level. However, there is something important I would like to discuss with you in person. I have received an offer for a collaborative research program from one of our partner universities in the Netherlands, and I would like to recommend you as one of the candidates, considering your experience in Sydney a few months ago. The program begins in two months. We need to meet this afternoon to discuss it.]Aurelia instinctively covered her mouth.“The Netherlands...?” she whispered, as though the words were too overwhelming to leave her lips.She read the email again. Then

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   263. A Husband Who Adored His Wife

    “Sorry. I just... I really didn’t expect this, sir.”Rafi raised a hand, trying to hold back the laughter that was threatening to burst out.“I thought that noise coming from this corner was the AC breaking down. Turns out there’s a tent in the office, complete with an occupant.”Gian straightened his back and closed his laptop, looking slightly embarrassed.“Rafi, this isn’t a camping tent. It’s more like a temporary resting area.”Rafi lowered his head, but the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth was impossible to hide.“Yes, sir. It’s just... having a tent inside an office is a first for me. Usually, you find tents at the beach, not on the second floor, let alone inside an executive office.”Aurelia, who had been half-reclining inside the tent, finally burst out laughing.“A temporary resting area with a soft mattress, oversized pillows, and warm tea. If camping in the woods were this comfortable, I’d want to go camping every weekend.”“Wow, that’s impressive, Mrs. Aurelia,”

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   262. What's So Funny

    "Are you sure you don't want to take Aurelia to see a psychologist or someone like that?"The concern in Nyonya Lestari's voice was soft but unmistakable. She looked at her son with gentle eyes filled with a mother's worry she couldn't quite hide.Gian slowly shook his head."There's no need, Mom. I'm sure my wife just needs someone she can talk to. She's carried the weight of her life alone for so long. She rarely shares even the little things. My job now is to make sure she never feels alone again."The middle-aged woman fell silent for a moment, carefully considering his words before giving a small nod."All right. I trust you, Gian. I just hope... nothing bad happens again.""I hope so too," Gian replied quietly.The two of them sat in comfortable silence until the sound of footsteps drifted down the staircase.The light, familiar rhythm immediately changed the atmosphere in the dining room.Aurelia appeared wearing

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   261. A New Atmosphere

    "Why are you so quiet? Is that a no?"Aurelia sounded disappointed when Gian still hadn't answered her unusual request.A few seconds later, her handsome husband finally nodded."Of course you can."His voice was gentle but certain, and the smile on his face made her heart skip a beat.He looked at her as if nothing else in the world existed.His hand rose to the top of her head, his fingers slowly brushing through her mocha-colored hair as it rested against her shoulders."If sleeping there helps you rest better," he said softly, "then starting tonight, that tent will be our bedroom."Aurelia let out a quiet laugh."Don't say that. We'll get so used to it that people will think this house doesn't even have a bedroom.""I don't mind," Gian replied casually. "As long as you're with me, any place can feel like home."Aurelia lowered her gaze, her cheeks flushing.It was such a simple sentence, yet it u

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   260. Sleeping in the Indoor Tent

    That morning felt different.The air was cool and damp, carrying the faint scent of wood and freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight streamed through the large second-floor windows, spilling across Aurelia's face beneath the blanket. She stirred, noticing an unfamiliar warmth around her.When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw wasn't the bedroom ceiling.Instead, a canopy of cream and gold fabric arched gracefully above her.She blinked several times, making sure she wasn't dreaming.Then she turned her head.A quiet laugh escaped her lips.Gian was fast asleep beside her. His face looked peaceful, his breathing slow and even. One arm was still wrapped securely around her waist, as though he was afraid she might disappear.But that wasn't what caught Aurelia's attention the most.It was where they were sleeping.At first glance, it looked almost like a luxury camping shelter.They were inside a spacious d

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   4. You’re defending her

    “I want to ask you something,” Gian said quietly, though his voice carried an unmistakable firmness. “Who exactly were you trying to please?”Aurelia froze. Her lips parted, but no sound came out.Madam Lestari folded her arms even tighter across her chest. “Certainly not me, Gian,” she snapped.Si

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   3. Mother-in-Law’s Greeting

    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   6. A Condition

    Gian moved toward Aurelia slowly, almost soundless, closing the small distance between them. His warm breath brushed her face, and it felt like the room itself was shrinking around them.Aurelia swallowed hard. Her body went stiff, her instincts firing off warnings.“What do you want me to do?” she

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   5. Gold-digger

    “Typical gold-digger!”That was the first thing that flew out of Mrs. Lestari’s mouth this morning. Her tone was sharp, cutting, like a whip cracking across bare skin. The usually quiet house was now heavy with tension.Aurelia stayed silent. Her head bowed, her eyes fixed on the floor. She knew th
