“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 s

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   93. A Gift for Her Mother-in-Law

    “Oh my, this orchid is absolutely beautiful, Miss,” said the plant seller, a middle-aged woman in a straw hat who greeted customers with easy familiarity.Aurelia smiled and nodded. “A white moth orchid, right?”“Yes, and it’s one of the most beloved flowers among plant enthusiasts. The blooms last a long time, the color is elegant, and it’s fairly easy to care for if you know how.”The seller gently brushed her fingers over the perfectly bloomed petals.Doni, standing beside Aurelia, chimed in, “If your mother-in-law likes plants, this is perfect. White moth orchids symbolize respect and sincerity.”Wulan nodded in agreement. “Besides, Aunt Doni’s a plant expert, so I already got insider information that this plant won’t make Aurelia struggle explaining care instructions to her mother-in-law.”Aurelia looked at both of them with a small smile. “Y

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   92. What If I Get Tempted

    That night, Aurelia lay in bed with the blanket wrapped around her body. She watched Gian’s face shift into annoyance the moment he looked at his phone. A small laugh escaped her lips.“Kirana again?” Aurelia asked with a quiet chuckle. Without hesitation, she reached up, touched her husband’s face, and kissed him softly. “Go ahead and deal with her first,” she whispered with a teasing smile.Gian let out a low sound, his eyes gleaming with a mix of exhaustion and amusement. “You’re not afraid I might actually fall for her? What if I get tempted?”Aurelia simply shook her head while fixing the blanket around herself. She tried to close her eyes, but Gian immediately continued.“Even the hardest rock eventually wears down if water keeps dripping on it, right?” Gian sounded irritated now, though he was still teasing.Fighting off sleep, Aurelia answered calmly, “I know that. But

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   91. Hospital

    From the other end of the line, Mbok Sri’s voice sounded panicked and shaky.“Ma’am, I’m sorry for bothering you this early. Miss Caca’s fever got really high last night. Her body’s burning up, and she keeps calling your name. We already brought her to the hospital. The doctor said she needs further observation.”Aurelia froze for a moment. Her chest tightened, as though a heavy weight had settled against her ribs.“Oh, Caca…” she murmured softly, her voice barely audible. “Her father’s there, right?”“He just left for Singapore again two days ago, Ma’am,” Sri answered, her voice trembling as if she were holding back tears.Aurelia let out a long breath, trying to steady herself so she would not panic.“I have class this morning. But I’ll definitely come this afternoon, okay? Tell Caca I said hi. Keep cheering her up.”&l

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   90. Mango pudding

    Aurelia blinked, almost letting out a long sigh, but she held it back.“What do you mean?”“Don’t pretend you don’t understand, Lia,” Gian said, dropping his work bag onto the chair with a dull thud. “You even welcomed Kirana with a smile that wide, as if she were… an honored guest in our home.”Aurelia let out a long breath, her eyes fixed on Gian with a mixture of exhaustion and quiet resignation. She stepped forward, took his work bag from the chair, and placed it on the small corner table. Without waiting for a response, she took his suit jacket and hung it behind the door.She slipped off the apron she was wearing and folded it carelessly on the table. “I made mango pudding,” she said in a bright tone, as if trying to lighten the mood. “Three flavors. Sour, sweet, and cheese.”She flashed a wide grin, the same grin Gian often teased as her horsey smile, though her eyes held something else beneath it, something that wasn’t entirely light.“Sorry,” she added. “I’m still learning. I

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   89. Are You Happy?

    The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly fell silent, as if a thin layer of frozen air had settled between them. The soft clinking of spoons from earlier vanished, leaving only the ticking of the wall clock.Gian, who had been stirring his drink, slowly lifted his head. His gaze settled on his wife’s face, trying to read the meaning behind her eyes. They looked calm on the surface, but beneath that calm was calculation. There was an unreadable flicker there, like someone carefully weighing a very heavy decision.He did not answer right away. The pause stretched too long, long enough for tension to seep into the air. Inside his head, countless possible responses seemed to spin, each one searching for a way out of an invisible trap.“Alright,” he finally said, his voice low and almost flat. There was no smile, no hint of lightness. Only a quiet resignation, neatly wrapped in cold composure.Across from him, Kirana offered a faint smile.

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   88. A Visitor in the Early Hours

    A visitor at this hour? It was already close to one in the morning.Gian walked toward the door hesitantly, weighing what he should do while exhaustion pressed heavily on him. When he opened it, a uniformed security guard stood outside, straight-backed and respectful, his expression serious.“Sorry to bother you, Mr. Gian. There’s a woman asking for you,” the guard said, nodding toward the hallway.Gian frowned, both curious and cautious. “A woman? Who is she?”“I’m sorry, sir. I don’t know her name, but she said it’s very important and she’s afraid to go home alone. I told her to wait at the security post. You can come with me,” the guard replied.Without thinking much about it, Gian nodded and followed him out of the apartment toward the nearby security station.When they arrived, Gian saw Kirana sitting on a bench. Her face looked pale, and her eyes moved anxiously as she g
