Aurelia froze. The words came without any sharp tone, yet they pierced straight into her heart.
“Devina has stopped sending them money,” Gian continued, his eyes fixed on the road, not turning even once.
Aurelia felt as if her chest collapsed inward. She bit her lower lip, trying to hold back the surge of emotion rising inside h

LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 299. Aurelia Is Getting Bolder
“Sweetheart?”Gian’s voice was hoarse with sleep as he slowly blinked his heavy eyes open.Soft morning light slipped through the gaps in the curtains, bathing their bedroom in a warm golden glow. He could feel Aurelia’s warmth beside him, her breathing slow and steady, like a lullaby that was gradually fading away.Aurelia answered with a quiet murmur, barely audible, but enough to make Gian smile.He opened his eyes fully and found his wife looking peaceful, her slightly messy hair falling across part of her cheek.This morning felt different somehow. There was a softness in the air, as though the outside world had finally given them a brief break from the chaos of her thesis, her pregnancy, and all the pressure that had haunted them the previous week.Suddenly, Gian felt a gentle touch against his chest.Aurelia’s fingers brushed lightly across his bare chest, tracing invisible patterns.“
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 298. This Is Yoga, Not Wrestling
After a full week of rest and coordinating with the research group Wulan had recommended, Aurelia felt well enough to return to prenatal yoga.Her doctor had given her the green light, but with strict conditions. No strenuous movements, plenty of water, and she had to stop immediately if she felt any sign of cramping.Aurelia agreed, though she was still a little nervous deep down.But her excitement returned, especially because this class was something special: prenatal yoga with their partners.“Seriously, Gian, you’re not allowed to laugh if I look ridiculous,” Aurelia said as she tugged at the loose T-shirt covering her increasingly round belly.They stood in front of the bedroom mirror, getting ready to leave for Wina’s yoga studio. Aurelia studied her reflection, feeling slightly self-conscious about all the changes her body had gone through.Gian, who was tying his shoelaces, glanced at his wife and flashed her
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 297. You Were Right
“Maybe… maybe you’re right,” she said softly, almost as if she were talking to herself. “But I don’t know where to start. I don’t have the energy to look for someone right now.”Gian gave her a faint smile and pulled his phone from his pocket.“I have an idea. Remember Wulan? You could ask her, sweetheart. Or maybe Doni.”Aurelia nodded, looking slightly confused. Wulan had been her best friend since college and was currently abroad with her husband while he pursued further studies. They still kept in touch, but it had been a long time since they’d had a proper conversation.“Wulan? She’s really busy, Gian. I don’t th
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 296. I Don't Want to Give Up
The first day of bed rest felt like a punishment.Aurelia woke to a morning that seemed far too bright. Sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the stacks of books and the laptop Gian had deliberately moved to the corner of the room. She stared at the ceiling, listening to the soft hum of the air conditioner and catching the faint smell of coffee drifting in from the kitchen, where Gian was busy preparing breakfast.But inside her, the storm hadn't settled.Her thesis.The deadline hung over her like a shadow, eating away at every bit of peace she tried to hold on to. She had spent months working on that research, sacrificing sleep, time with Gian, and even the little moments when she should have simply enjoyed being pregnant.Now, when she was supposed to be focusing on the baby growing inside her, her mind kept drifting back to the unanswered email from her thesis advisor, the data she hadn't analyzed yet, and the final chapter that was still nothing more tha
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 295. The Cramps Again
The sense of peace shattered instantly, replaced by a cold jolt of panic. Aurelia opened her eyes. The room was still dim, the soft relaxation music continued playing, and the other participants’ breathing remained slow and steady.Only she was awake now, trapped in the silence by the pain that had suddenly gripped her.The cramp came again.This time, it felt tighter, as though an invisible hand were squeezing her lower abdomen. A soft gasp escaped her lips before she could stop it.That was enough.At the front of the room, Wina, the instructor, who had been sitting in a meditative position, immediately opened her eyes. She was trained to notice even the slightest signs of distress during her classes.“Aurelia?” she called gently but firmly.Aurelia tried to answer, but all that came out was a pained whimper as the third wave of pain hit.Within seconds, Wina was kneeling beside her, ignoring the other parti
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 294. Advice from Her Mother-in-Law
“Yes,” her mother-in-law replied enthusiastically. “Yoga is great for pregnant women. It can help keep your body flexible, regulate your breathing, and apparently make labor a little easier when the time comes. My friend said the class is very beginner-friendly, too.”Gian looked at Aurelia as he slowly chewed his breakfast. “Sounds like a good idea, sweetheart. Your body has been feeling stiff a lot lately. Maybe yoga will help you relax.”Aurelia bit her lip, clearly considering it. “But… I’ve never done yoga before. What if it just leaves me sore?”“That’s exactly why you should start now,” Nyonya Lestari quickly replied. “You’ll also meet other expectant mothers. You can share stories and experiences with each other. You can’t spend all your time at home staring at your laptop and working on your research.”Tuan Mahesa nodded in agreement as he stirr
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
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
