Gian groaned in frustration. He quickly grabbed Aurelia’s hand, which had been wandering a little too far. Within seconds, his body shifted, no longer lying face down.

Aurelia, caught off guard by the sudden movement, let out a small cry as her body slipped from Gian’s back. But before she could actually fall onto the mattress, Gian’s strong arm caught her, pulling her in so that she ended up on top of him while he lay on his back.

“Why?” Aurelia as

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   73. I won’t give up

    “I won’t give up. Thank you.”Kirana’s voice sounded soft, accompanied by a sweet smile she could barely hide. Satisfaction flickered in her eyes. After trying for so long to get closer to Gian, she felt she had finally received a different kind of response from him. To her, it meant her efforts had not been in vain.But the very next second, Kirana’s world seemed to flip upside down.Gian lifted one hand into the air. The gesture looked casual, almost effortless, yet it carried clear meaning. A hotel attendant who had been standing not far from the elevator immediately approached. He moved quickly, posture straight, then bowed politely in front of Gian.“Please escort Ms. Kirana to her room and make sure she gets there safely,” Gian said. His tone remained friendly, but there was a firmness in it that left no room for argument.He slipped several bills into the attendant’s hand before returning his attention to the laptop in front of him.Kirana froze.Her body stiffened, and somethi

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   72. Can you walk me to my room?

    “Can you walk me to my room?”The simple request from Caca, especially as the little girl looked up at her with wide eyes and a hopeful voice, made Aurelia pause for a moment.“Will you stay here tonight, Aurelia?” Caca asked again softly. “I don’t have anyone to play with...”On the other end of the phone, Gian fell silent. There was no response for several seconds, only the sound of his heavy breathing, as if he were weighing something in his mind.Aurelia lowered her gaze slightly, looking at Caca who was still leaning against her arm. The little girl had gone through an emotional outburst just a few hours earlier. And now, after laughing a little and beginning to feel comfortable again, Caca seemed reluctant to let go of the warmth she had just found.Before Aurelia could answer, her phone vibrated again. This time the screen showed a video call from Gian.She answered it. As soon as her husband’s face appeared on the screen, relief immediately crossed his expression, followed by

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   71. Aurelia Faints

    “What’s wrong with Miss Aurelia?”The voice was soft but trembling with panic. Caca, her hair tied into two small pigtails and her eyes swollen from crying, knelt beside the bed. Her tiny hand clutched Aurelia’s pale, cold fingers.She stared at the young woman’s face with a mixture of hope and fear.The room where Aurelia was being treated was quiet. Only the ticking of the wall clock filled the air. A faint scent of antiseptic lingered, making it clear this was not an ordinary home but a private treatment room at a clinic frequented by wealthy families.A middle-aged man wearing a doctor’s coat, a stethoscope hanging around his neck, let out a breath before offering a reassuring smile.“Relax, sweetheart,” he said gently, lowering himself so he was at Caca’s eye level. “Miss Aurelia is just exhausted. There’s nothing to worry about.”Instead of looking relieved, Caca’s expression tightened. Her quiet sob suddenly turned sharp and loud.“That’s a lie!”The doctor blinked in surprise.

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   70. Don’t Do It Again

    Gian slowly opened his eyes, still half asleep. The brief flash of light from the phone on the nightstand had just woken him. A soft vibration followed, signaling an incoming call. With a sluggish movement, he reached for the phone and glanced at the name on the screen.His face immediately cleared.He tapped the green button and leaned back against the headboard.“Hey, love,” came the gentle voice from the other end.Gian let out a quiet breath, a faint smile forming. But before he could answer, his eyes caught sight of someone standing near the bed.Kirana.She stood a few steps away, holding an iPad, frozen in place.Gian stiffened, but he kept his voice calm. “Hi, sweetheart...”“Are you okay? Your voice sounds strange,” Aurelia asked suspiciously.“No. I’m fine. I just... fell asleep earlier. Today’s meetings were packed.” His sharp gaze shifted toward Kirana, who quickly stepped back.“I’ll call you again tomorrow. Get some rest,” Gian added.“Okay... I love you,” Aurelia said s

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   69. If You Only Knew

    Aurelia was tutoring as usual. A large window on one side of the room overlooked the shaded backyard. Thin curtains swayed gently under the breeze from the central air conditioner. On the polished teakwood table lay scattered workbooks, colored pencils, and a small doll that belonged to Caca.The little girl sat across from Aurelia, her head lowered, her fingers busy scribbling on the worksheet while her face remained blank. There was no excitement, no laughter like usual.“Caca, this is still wrong. Look here...” Aurelia said softly, pointing at a line of problems.Caca only gave a small nod. No words came out. Her eyes avoided Aurelia’s.Aurelia sighed quietly. “Are you tired?” she asked gently.Caca shook her head slightly, but still said nothing.At that moment, one of the housemaids entered the room carrying a glass of warm milk for Caca and tea for Aurelia. Her face looked friendly, but there was something thoughtful in her expression.“What’s wrong with Caca, Mbok?” Aurelia whi

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   68. A Hidden Plan

    The Mahesa family home slowly returned to calm after the guests began leaving one by one. The remaining glasses and plates had already been cleared away by the household staff. Kirana, who was still in the living room, busied herself arranging the flower vases, a small satisfied smile playing on her lips as if pleased with how the day had turned out.Not long after, the sound of measured footsteps echoed from the staircase. Mrs. Lestari descended slowly, a thin shawl draped over her shoulders. She said nothing as she approached. Instead, she took a seat on the velvet chair across from Kirana. Her movements were graceful, and her gaze seemed to be weighing something carefully.“Good,” she said at last. “You really do know how to set the atmosphere. I’m pleased.”Kirana turned slightly, hiding her smile behind polite composure. “Thank you, ma’am. I just wanted to help.”Mrs. Lestari gave a small nod and leaned forward. “And you succeeded,” she continued. “Three people asked earlier if y
