LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 293. Forgive Mama, Okay
Aurelia slowly exhaled, trying to calm her mind after the brief moment of panic. The glow from her laptop had dimmed, leaving only a faint reflection across her face. She gently looked down at her rounded belly and whispered a few soothing words to her unborn baby.“Forgive Mama, okay, sweetheart?” she murmured tenderly. “Let’s get some rest now. Let’s go to sleep and catch up with Papa. You must be really tired too, right?”Her hand moved slowly over her belly, the rhythm soothing and steady, like a gentle rocking motion.A few minutes later, the tightness that had gripped her abdomen began to ease. Her stomach gradually relaxed, returning to its usual warmth and softness.Suddenly, she felt a gentle kick from inside.Aurelia smiled, her eyes growing warm with emotion.“Yes, sweetheart. Mama knows you’re tired too. Let’s go to sleep now, okay? But Mama needs to use the bathroom and brush her teeth first.”She shut down her laptop, gathered her notes as best she could, and slowly made
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 292. I Can’t Let Myself Get Stressed
That morning, the smell of toasted bread and freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen. Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow over the dining table. Gian sat neatly dressed in a light blue work shirt, while Aurelia sat across from him with her hair tied back casually and her laptop open in front of her. She stirred a glass of warm milk but still hadn’t taken a sip.“Sweetheart, are you sure you don’t want to rest before heading to campus?” Gian asked, gently touching the back of her hand.Aurelia shook her head. “I have a meeting with my advisor today. Professor Malika said she wanted to go over the methodology and research instruments I used before. If I put it off, the revisions are only going to pile up.”Gian nodded. He knew how much of a perfectionist Aurelia was when it came to academics.“You can do it,” he said lightly, trying to encourage her. “Think of it as one mor
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 291. What Choice Do We Have
“Sweetheart…”Gian’s voice nearly broke. “Look at your finger. This isn’t about the ring anymore.”Aurelia burst into tears. “But this is… our ring, Gian.”Gian wrapped an arm tightly around her, trying to comfort her even though his own hands were trembling. Mrs. Lestari gently rubbed Aurelia’s shoulder, while Mr. Mahesa was already pulling out his phone to find the fastest way to get help.“If we wait any longer, this could become dangerous,” his father said firmly. “Let’s go now. I’ll have the driver bring the car around.”Aurelia could only sob against Gian’s chest. The pain in her finger was getting sharper, making her breathing uneven.Gian looked at his wife’s tear-streaked face, his heart aching as if someone were squeezing it in a fist. He felt guilty, frustrated, and terrified all at once.“Hang in there
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 290. The Ring
That evening, the restaurant they chose was relatively quiet. Warm pendant lights cast a soft glow over the room, while the rich aroma of Indonesian spices filled the air. As usual, Gian pulled out Aurelia's chair for her, just as he had done since they got married. Though a trace of nervousness still lingered on his face, Aurelia did her best to act calm.Across the table, Mrs. Lestari looked excited.“I brought some asinan Bogor back from our trip. Here, try some. I packed it in a cooler bag so it would stay fresh.”Aurelia's face immediately lit up. “Asinan Bogor? The one with pineapple and pickled mustard greens, Mom?”“Yes,” her mother-in-law replied as she took out a clear container filled with the refreshing salad and its tangy, spicy broth. “I know you like fresh, zesty flavors, so I bought extra.”Aurelia immediately reached for a small plate and tasted a spoonful of the broth first.Her eyes widened.“Oh my gosh, this is so refreshing!” she exclaimed. “This is the best asina
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 289. All Because of You
Gian's face changed instantly. That deep voice… it belonged to his father.He froze in front of the hidden door, briefly glancing at Aurelia. One look was enough to tell her that they were in a situation that was anything but safe.“Gian?” The voice came again, this time closer, followed by another, louder knock.“What is it, sweetheart?” Aurelia asked softly. She was already sitting on the sofa, clutching the blanket tightly around herself. Her breathing hadn't completely settled, and her cheeks were still flushed. She had no idea that a small storm was brewing just outside the door.“My parents are here,” Gian answered in barely a whisper.“What?!”Aurelia instinctively started to get up, but the blanket nearly slipped off. She quickly pulled it back up, panic flashing across her face.“You're kidding, right?”“If I were kidding, I wouldn't be this pale,” Gian hissed softly.In an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed.Aurelia's heart raced against the clock. Damn it. This was
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 288. The Lunchbox Incident
Aurelia gently slapped her forehead, her expression a mixture of disbelief and embarrassment.“Oh, my God…” she murmured.Only then did she fully realize that they weren't in their bedroom like they should have been, but in Gian's secret room, a private space hidden behind his office. They had been so caught up in each other that Aurelia had completely lost track of time.She glanced at the clock on the wall. The minute hand had moved far beyond where she expected it to be.“Wait… we've been in here for two hours?” she asked, shaking her head, half laughing and half panicking.Gian was lounging shirtless in a single sofa nearby. He merely chuckled.“Time flies when I'm with you, sweetheart,” he teased.“Yeah, and we're going to be in serious trouble if anyone finds out,” Aurelia replied, pulling the blanket over her body, which was still covered only by her thin undergarmen
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 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
