“Knock it off, Jer. This is none of your business.”

The sharp words left Baskara's lips without hesitation. His eyes narrowed, his expression firm and unyielding as he stared Jeremy down.

But the moment his gaze drifted toward Aurelia and Caca, everything about him softened. The tenderness in his eyes appeared almost instinctively, as if the two of them were too precious to be touched by Jeremy's cynical remarks.

Jeremy only laughed.

His amused chuckle

    “Knock it off, Jer. This is none of your business.”The sharp words left Baskara's lips without hesitation. His eyes narrowed, his expression firm and unyielding as he stared Jeremy down.But the moment his gaze drifted toward Aurelia and Caca, everything about him softened. The tenderness in his eyes appeared almost instinctively, as if the two of them were too precious to be touched by Jeremy's cynical remarks.Jeremy only laughed.His amused chuckle echoed through the bustling departure terminal as travelers hurried past.“Oh, come on, Bas. You can do anything if you set your mind to it. If you want her, then win her back from that greenhorn who's about to inherit Mahesa Group.”Baskara fell silent, holding back the surge of anger threatening to break loose.His jaw tightened.His teeth clenched.He knew Jeremy enjoyed pushing people's buttons. He had always loved poking at personal matters jus

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   200. Is She the One?

    Baskara stood by the apartment window, watching the soft morning light spill through the sheer curtains. The cool Melbourne air drifted inside, carrying the smell of freshly toasted bread from the kitchen.A smile spread across his face when he heard the sound of little footsteps approaching.“Daddy...” The sleepy voice was soft and sweet, the unmistakable voice of a child who had just woken up.Baskara turned around.Caca stood there with messy bed hair and half-closed eyes, dragging her stuffed bunny behind her.The sight instantly warmed his heart.“Good morning, Daddy's little princess,” Baskara said gently.He walked over, scooped her into his arms, and held her against his chest.“Did you sleep well?”Caca gave a sleepy nod.“But... I'm hungry.”“Then let's have breakfast, sweetheart.”They headed to the dining table.A simple b

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   199. Don't Get the Wrong Idea

    “Caca?”Aurelia called softly, her body still halfway out of the car. Her voice trembled as if she couldn't quite believe what she'd just heard. She leaned closer to the back seat, her eyes searching through the dim shadows lit only by the streetlights.Her heart hammered against her ribs.Caca was still fast asleep, her tiny face completely peaceful. Yet those little lips had just whispered a single word that pierced straight through Aurelia's heart, a word she had never expected to hear from the little girl.“Mommy.”Even now, still asleep, Caca murmured again. The words were too faint to make out, more like the rambling of someone caught between dreams and reality, as if she were continuing a beautiful dream that only she could see.Aurelia froze.Her chest tightened, and her breathing grew heavy. After a few long seconds, she forced herself to take a deep breath, trying to steady the emotions threatening to overwhelm her.She knew Caca was sleep talking.Even so, that single word

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   198. I Was Just Tagging Along

    “I still don't want to say goodbye to you, Miss Lia,” Caca whined, her lips puffed out like a squished mochi. Her wide eyes shimmered under the glow of the streetlights as she clung to Aurelia's arm in the back seat.Aurelia smiled gently and stroked the little girl's soft hair. “We'll see each other again tomorrow, sweetheart. It's already late. You need to get some rest so you'll have lots of energy tomorrow.”Instead of calming down, Caca pouted even more. She blinked rapidly, as though trying to keep tears from spilling over.“If you want, you can spend the night with Miss Aurelia. We could get a hotel,” Baskara said from behind the wheel.His tone was casual, as if he were offering the simplest suggestion in the world, but his eyes briefly sharpened in the rearview mirror as he watched Aurelia's reaction.Aurelia's eyes widened.“Huh?” The tiny sound escaped before she could stop it. She looked toward the front of the car, staring at his back in complete surprise. Her heart began

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   197. Walking Together

    The question slipped out so casually from the mouth of a first grader. But to Aurelia, it struck like lightning in the quiet meeting room. Her breath caught, and the smile on her lips instantly froze.Across the room, Baskara was still focused on the files spread across the conference table, completely unaware that his daughter's innocent question had shaken Aurelia to her core.Before Aurelia could recover, the notification on her phone chimed again.The screen lit up with a name that made her heartbeat quicken.Gian.It wasn't just a text. He had sent her a photo.In it, Gian sat in a conference room wearing a perfectly tailored suit. His expression was serious, though he still managed a faint smile for the camera. Beside him, Rafi was busy flipping through a stack of documents.Below the picture was a short caption filled with longing.[I miss you so much. What are you up to, sweetheart?]Aurelia stared at the screen.

  • LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN   196. A Call from Her Mother

    That morning, sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of Aurelia's room. The smell of freshly toasted bread filled the small apartment. She sat at the little table by the window, looking down at a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast with jam, and a steaming cup of tea. For a moment, she welcomed the silence, hoping it would calm the thoughts that had been weighing on her since the night before.The peaceful moment didn't last.Her phone rang.It was the ringtone she had assigned to calls from home.Her hand froze above her spoon.The hesitation was immediate. It was the same familiar reluctance she always felt whenever her parents' names appeared on her screen.Aurelia drew in a quiet breath.Should I answer... or ignore it?Her heart urged her to let it ring.Her mind told her otherwise.In the end, she gave in.She swiped the green icon and raised the phone to her ear."Hi, Mom,

    Aurelia’s legs felt heavy as she descended the airplane stairs. The cool night air greeted her the moment she stepped out of the cabin, a stark contrast to Jakarta’s humid, crowded atmosphere. So this was it: Melbourne Tullamarine Airport, a place that had existed only in her imagination for months

    Aurelia stopped in front of a small café tucked away on a street corner. Her body felt drained, as if every step she'd taken since leaving Caca's house had been fueled by nothing but desperation. Her chest still ached from her last conversation with Gian. His words had cut deeper than any blade eve

    The late afternoon sky was washed in pale shades of orange, as if it were mirroring the turmoil in Lestari's heart. She sat on the edge of her bed with her head bowed, staring at the carpet beneath her feet. The only sound in the room was the steady ticking of the wall clock. Every now and then, a
