Gian froze in panic. The desire that had surged through him just moments ago vanished instantly, pulled back like a wave dragged into the open sea. He bent down at once, eyes widening at the sight of Aurelia grimacing as she clutched her stomach. Her breathing was unsteady.

“Aurelia? Hey, what’s wrong?” His voice tightened. He knelt in front of her, touching her cheek that was growing pale.

“I’m fine… I just owww…” Aurelia bit do

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   280. See You When I See You

    The maternity ward was quiet that morning. The only sounds were the ticking of the wall clock and the uneven breathing of a woman sitting in the patient chair. Her eyes were swollen and red, and her fingers still clutched the white hospital blanket tightly.Across from her, Aurelia sat quietly, a small voice recorder running on the table between them. The interview was part of her research for her thesis on maternal mental health after pregnancy loss.The night before, Aurelia had expected Professor Malika to give her another hard time. But she had been wrong. Her proposal had been approved immediately, and she was given the green light to begin her research.That was why she had been there since early morning.“If I'm being honest...” The woman's voice broke halfway through the sentence. “I didn't even get the chance to give my baby a name.”Aurelia swallowed hard. “It's okay, ma'am. We don't have to rush.”“Everyone keeps telling me I have to be strong,” the woman continued, her eye

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   279. Please Don't Go, Mom

    That morning, soft sunlight filtered through the slatted windows of the Mahesa family's living room. Old photo albums were scattered across the long wooden table. Aurelia sat cross-legged on the floor, her hair loosely tied up, occasionally letting out a quiet laugh as she flipped through the yellowing pages.“Oh my goodness, he was so adorable back then...” Aurelia murmured as she stared at a small photo of Gian running across the yard in striped shorts. His round cheeks were smeared with ice cream, and in the background stood Nyonya Lestari in a white dress, looking slightly awkward.Aurelia smiled to herself. “So cute.”She seemed almost incapable of getting tired of looking at the pictures in front of her.“Cute? I completely forgot that picture still existed.”Nyonya Lestari's voice came from the doorway.Aurelia quickly turned around. Her mother-in-law walked into the room, wearing a pastel-colored h

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   278. Mission One

    The next morning, the sky was bright and clear, and sunlight streamed through the windows of Gian's private room at the office.Aurelia sat there with her laptop open, looking like she was planning a small-scale war. A sly smile played on her lips, the kind of smile Gian had learned to recognize whenever she was plotting something out of the ordinary.“So this is your first move?” Gian's voice came from behind her.He had just stepped out of a meeting, his tie slightly loosened and a folder tucked under his arm.Aurelia turned around, her eyes sparkling. “Yes. Today, I'm going to make sure Mom starts feeling needed. If she realizes this family still needs her, I think she'll start having second thoughts about moving out.”“Hmm.” Gian leaned against the doorframe, eyeing his wife suspiciously. “Should I be worried?”“No.” Aurelia stood and clapped her hands together like someone who

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   277. Aurelia’s Little Plan

    The cool morning air slipped through the gaps in the gently swaying white curtains. The balcony of the Mahesa family’s master bedroom overlooked the lush backyard, peaceful and quiet, filled with the fresh scent of roses from the small garden Nyonya Lestari had planted herself.But that morning, the tranquility of the garden did little to calm Aurelia.She sat in a rattan chair, hugging her knees as she stared toward the koi pond. Her usually bright brown eyes were now clouded with tears. Every now and then, she gently rubbed her growing belly, as though the simple gesture could somehow protect the little life growing inside her.“It's barely morning, and you're already looking like a storm cloud,” a deep but warm voice came from behind her. “I came out here and found you looking like this. What's wrong now, hmm?”Aurelia turned around.Mr. Mahesa stood in the doorway to the balcony, dressed casually in a white linen shirt and gray trousers. His hair had begun to turn gray, but none o

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   276. Why Did You Keep It From Me?

    The black car moved slowly through the city streets as dusk settled over the horizon. The sky glowed with a faint orange hue, like the last traces of warmth slowly fading away. Inside the car, there was no sound except the hum of the engine and the occasional rush of wind outside the windows.Aurelia sat beside Nyonya Lestari, both hands gripping the small purse in her lap. Her eyes remained fixed on the sunset slipping past the window, but her mind was somewhere else entirely.Her mother-in-law’s words kept echoing in her head.“I’m going to move here.”It was such a simple sentence, yet it felt like a small blade. It hadn't hurt all at once, but it had left a slow, aching wound that made her chest feel tight.“Lia...” Nyonya Lestari’s gentle voice finally broke the silence.Aurelia slowly turned toward her. Her eyes were already glistening with tears. Confusion, sadness, and a hint of fear were visible in them.“Did I make you uncomfortable somehow?” she asked softly, her voice bare

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   275. The Nursing Home

    The afternoon air was warm, and the bright blue sky seemed to welcome their arrival. The Mahesa family’s sleek black car slowly pulled to a stop in front of Aurelia’s parents’ house.Gian got out first, followed by Aurelia, who looked elegant in a soft cream knee-length dress. In the back seat, Nyonya Lestari stepped out in an emerald green kebaya, wearing a wide smile.“Liaaa!” Bu Mirna called the moment the gate opened.Her face lit up with happiness as she eagerly welcomed her daughter, who had spent most of her time at her husband’s family home since getting married.“Mom.”Aurelia immediately wrapped her arms around her mother, hugging her like a child who had finally come home after being away for far too long. The familiar scent of the house, a mixture of wood and jasmine, instantly filled her senses.It wasn't long before Pak Darto came out of the house, followed by several cousins who

  • 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   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
