LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 83. My daughter-in-law
For a moment, silence filled the room.Mrs. Lestari did not answer right away. Her eyes lingered on Aurelia, as if trying to read the deepest corners of her heart. It was not a simple glance. It felt more like she was weighing something carefully, deciding whether to acknowledge it or keep it hidden.Meanwhile, Aurelia felt her heartbeat quicken, her breath catching slightly in her chest. She forced a faint smile to stay on her lips, though cold sweat had already dampened her back.At last, Mrs. Lestari spoke, her voice calm yet clear enough for everyone nearby to hear.“Aurelia is my daughter-in-law.”The words slipped from Mrs. Lestari’s lips so casually, but to Aurelia they rang in her ears like a sudden thunderclap. She looked up instinctively, her eyes widening, then her hand reflexively pinched her own thigh.It hurt.Real.So this was not a dream.The head administrator standing before them immed
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 82. Where did you meet?
That morning, the main hall of Kasih Abadi Nursing Home looked far more lively than usual. Pastel balloons hung neatly along both sides of the small, simply decorated stage, adding a cheerful touch to a room that was usually quiet.Beneath the high ceiling, the elderly residents sat neatly in rows of chairs that had been carefully arranged. Some were smiling, others looked excited as they waited for the event to begin. Soft classical music flowed gently from the speakers, wrapping the room in a warmth that felt comforting to the heart.Amid the crowd, Aurelia stood near the podium, wearing a crisp white blouse and a long cream skirt that looked modest yet elegant. Her face appeared calm, but the way her fingers gripped the folder in her hands revealed the nervousness she could not hide.“Everything’s ready. You’ve got this, Lia!” Doni whispered from behind the curtain, signaling that the program could begin.Aurelia nodded quietly. She took a deep breath, adjusted her collar, and glan

“What did Kirana say?” she repeated, her voice firmer now.Gian startled. He turned quickly and found his wife fully awake.“Sweetheart… you weren’t asleep?”“Answer me,” Aurelia pressed.Gian hesitated for a moment. He reached for her hand and pressed a slow kiss to the back of it. “She just sent a report about a new client. Nothing important,” he said shortly.Aurelia turned her head, studying her husband’s face that looked a little too calm.“Should we go home now?” Gian asked with a light smile.Aurelia nodded slowly. “Yeah… let’s go.”But there was no cheerful tone in her answer. No playful teasing, none of the familiar banter that usually colored their conversations. The atmosphere between them suddenly felt flat. Empty.Gian glanced at her, slightly puzzled. “What’s wrong? Tired?”Aurelia nodded once. “A little.”She stared out the car window during the drive home, trying to calm the tightness still weighing on her mind. Yes. It was still about Kirana. She wanted to believe tha

Aurelia blinked slowly, trying to adjust her eyes to the dim lighting in the room. She frowned. This clearly wasn't Gian's office. She had fallen asleep on the sofa earlier, not... on a bed this soft.Slowly she sat up, her body wrapped in a thin blanket that still felt warm. The room looked more like a luxury hotel suite, with elegant wooden wall panels, warm golden lighting, the faint scent of cinnamon from a diffuser in the corner, and a minimalist painting framed in gold hanging above a king size bed."Where am I?" she murmured in confusion.Her phone was lying on the small table beside the bed. She quickly grabbed it and called Gian.The voice on the other end answered almost immediately."You're awake, hmm?"Aurelia frowned. "Where... am I?"Gian chuckled softly. "I'll be there soon. Give me ten minutes."She was about to interrupt when his voice suddenly shifted, as if he were speaking to someone else."Yes, that data has to be submitted today. Ask the legal division to send th
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 79. Want me to carry you?
Instead of confronting the sight that had just set her heart on fire, Aurelia chose to walk away. Her steps were slow but firm as she left the office lobby before Gian could notice she had been there. The sound of her heels echoed across the polished marble floor, almost competing with the rapid pounding of her heart.Just as she stepped past the main entrance, her phone rang.Gian’s name appeared on the screen.Aurelia stared at it for a moment, hesitant, before finally answering.“Hello,” she said sharply.“Sweetheart, did you come to the office earlier?” Gian’s voice sounded slightly tense. “Why didn’t you come up to my office?”Aurelia let out a long breath, staring out the glass wall facing the busy street outside.“I changed my mind,” she said quietly, though her tone was edged with bitterness. “I just didn’t want to interrupt you and Kirana while you were being affectionate in the elevator.”Gian fell silent for a few seconds.“Affectionate? Oh my goodness. You misunderstood, s

“I’m not joking,” Aurelia said firmly.Her eyes locked onto the man, who frowned slightly. Both of her hands were clenched, showing she had no intention of backing down.But instead of answering her question, the man muttered, “Are you trying to peek at me or something?”Aurelia froze.She turned her head quickly and only then noticed the men’s restroom sign on the wall in front of her. She winced, her breath catching for a moment.“Oh. Oh my goodness…” she murmured.Only then did she realize she had chased the man all the way into the hallway near the men’s restroom.Half embarrassed, Aurelia stepped back a few paces and stood off to the side of the corridor, avoiding the man’s gaze as he walked inside.Not long after, the maid’s voice could be heard from the direction of the entrance.“There she is, the young lady!”Caca, who was walking beside the maid, immediately turned and ran toward her.“Sister Aurelia!” she called happily.Aurelia quickly welcomed them. She bent down and hugg
