"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

  • 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

    "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   259. Please, Honey

    "Forget it. I can afford to cover your leave from school," Gian said as he sat on the edge of the bed.Aurelia pouted."That's not the point, Gian. I'm really passionate about this thesis topic. If I don't work on it now, I'll lose my train of thought."Gian rubbed his face in frustration before running a hand through his hair."You had light bleeding just the other night, sweetheart. And instead of resting, you want to stay up late again?"Aurelia looked at him with pleading eyes, her expression soft but hopeful."Please, honey. Tomorrow is the deadline to submit my Chapter Two revisions. My advisor is terrifying when someone misses a deadline. I promise I won't stay up too long. Please help me."A faint smile tugged at her lips, but the worry in her eyes remained.Gian stared at her for a long moment, silently arguing with himself.He knew writing helped Aurelia feel like herself again. It gave her purpose.But the rational side of him couldn't ignore the fear that too much stress m

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   258. You Matter More

    Aurelia woke as sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of their bedroom.The cool morning air felt refreshing, but her head was still a little heavy.She was about to close her eyes again when her gaze landed on the phone resting on the nightstand.Gian's phone.Her thoughts immediately drifted back to the night before.The unexpected call.The way his expression had changed.And his brief response, It's nothing important, which had only made her curiosity grow.She tried to push the thought away.Then the phone vibrated.The screen lit up with a series of new notifications, and something tugged at her chest.Almost instinctively, she reached for it.Aurelia glanced toward the bathroom door.It was still closed.The faint sound of running water told her Gian was still showering.She stared at the screen for a moment, hesitating.But her fingers moved before

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   257. I'm Just Afraid of Losing You

    The sharp scent of antiseptic filled the room as Aurelia slowly opened her eyes.The bright white lights overhead blurred her vision for a moment. It took several seconds before she realized she was no longer in the car.She was in a hospital.The sky outside the window was gray. She couldn't tell whether it was still dawn or already morning.All she knew was the dull ache in her lower abdomen and the soft footsteps approaching her bed."Sweetheart?"The familiar voice made her turn her head.Gian stood beside the bed, looking exhausted despite his neat appearance. His eyes were swollen from lack of sleep, yet he forced a reassuring smile."How..." Aurelia whispered hoarsely. "The baby?"Gian lowered his head and took her hand in his.He pressed a long kiss to the back of it, as though releasing the crushing weight he'd carried all night."Thank God," he said softly. "You and our little one are both okay. T

  • 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

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   2. The Beginning of Disaster

    Aurelia didn’t sleep a single second. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ceiling, the cracks forming strange shapes, like a spiderweb slowly tightening around her. She felt trapped, and today that web was pulling her straight into the center of her ruin.Devina’s last words echoed in her skull like a cur

  • 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
