That was what Aurelia said that night, her voice trying to sound steady. “Sorry if I crossed a line. My mind started going somewhere strange. Let’s just drop it.”
She quickly closed her eyes, as if ending the conversation before her heart could completely fall apart. Still, she noticed Gian shifting beside her. He turned over until they were facing each other. No words followed, only a soft, warm kiss pressed to her forehead.

LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 191. When His In-Laws Came to Gian's Office
The atmosphere inside Gian's office in Jakarta was thick with tension.Even the rich aroma of freshly brewed black coffee, brought in moments earlier by his assistant, couldn't cool the oppressive heat filling the room.Gian sat behind his desk, his jaw clenched. His fingers tapped repeatedly against the polished mahogany surface, a clear sign that his patience was hanging by a thread."Wasn't it enough that you took advantage of Devina?" His voice trembled with barely restrained anger. "You made her work herself to the bone when she was young, supporting the family when she should've been enjoying her youth. And now you're back, using Aurelia's parents as an excuse to guilt me into helping you. So this is your latest scheme?"The middle-aged couple sitting across from him slowly shook their heads.Their weary expressions looked carefully rehearsed, as though they were truly struggling to survive.But Gian knew better.Beneath those worn appearances lay a far greater ambition.They wa
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 190. Don't Undervalue Yourself
Morning arrived in Melbourne with soft sunlight filtering through the thin curtains of Aurelia's dorm room. Still wrapped in her cardigan, her long hair was slightly messy after falling asleep on the couch the night before with a list of vocabulary words she had never managed to finish memorizing.Her laptop vibrated quietly on the small desk.A new email.She hurried over, her heart immediately racing.IELTS Results Available.Her hands trembled as her breathing quickened. For days she had been consumed by anxiety, convinced her final preparations hadn't been enough.Slowly, she clicked the link.Her eyes widened.Overall Band Score: 8.5Her mouth fell open, but no sound came out."Oh my God..." she whispered.She covered her face with both hands, caught somewhere between bursting into excited screams and crying with relief.Every hour she'd spent practicing speakin
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 189. Don't Overthink It
"Bas... I'm so nervous," Aurelia murmured, pulling her jacket tighter around herself. They stood outside the IELTS testing center, where the crisp Melbourne morning air stung her ears.Baskara glanced at her, his expression as calm as ever."You've studied. You're ready, Lia. Don't overthink it."Aurelia let out a small huff, her eyes drifting toward the building's sign."What if my mind goes blank? The speaking section is terrifying, you know.""If you can argue with me about a project," Baskara replied evenly, "you can handle an interviewer."There was something in his eyes that didn't match his matter-of-fact tone. A quiet confidence that was strangely reassuring.Aurelia puffed out her cheeks, half annoyed, half amused."That wasn't arguing. I was learning, Bas."He raised an eyebrow."Learning or building mental resilience, it's the same thing. Think of today as more practice."They crossed the sidewal
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 188. A Strange Feeling
The Melbourne night was cold enough to seep into the bones. The modest restaurant tucked away on a CBD street corner had quieted down after the project team gradually went their separate ways. Outside, streetlights reflected off the rain-soaked sidewalk from the afternoon shower, while the steady hum of passing traffic filled the air.Aurelia stood near the restaurant entrance, pulling her thin cardigan tighter around herself as she tried to ignore the sting in her bandaged right elbow. Ever since the accident at the construction site that afternoon, she had hidden the pain behind a smile, though her expression tightened every time she moved her arm too far.She lowered her gaze and was about to head toward the tram stop when a familiar voice stopped her."I'll drive you. Don't argue. We already agreed on that."Baskara's voice was calm but firm, leaving no room for debate.Aurelia looked up, a little flustered."You really don't have to, Ba
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 187. Don't Do Anything Reckless
Baskara glanced at her, one eyebrow slightly raised. "Of course. Did you think I'd hire someone without paying them?"Aurelia froze, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. Only then did she realize she'd been so focused on the experience and the chance to work closely with him that she'd never even asked about her salary. She wanted to crawl under the table from embarrassment, though a part of her couldn't help finding it funny, like a child who had just stumbled onto an obvious grown-up secret.The neat office was bathed in cool white light, illuminating stacks of documents and the glow of laptop screens. Aurelia bit back a laugh and quickly covered her mouth before it escaped. Baskara kept his eyes on the paperwork, lightly tapping the desk with his fingers, completely oblivious to her silent panic. His calm, unreadable demeanor only made Gian's wife feel even more flustered."Today we need to finish revising the project documents, review the client notes, and make sure every time
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 186. Don't Overthink Something Silly
Aurelia looked at the person who had made that comment one more time, wanting to confirm what had caught her attention in the first place.She even blinked rapidly, worried her eyes had deceived her.“Don't pay too much attention to it. Just treat it like trash,” Baskara said.Aurelia nodded in agreement.The man had turned out to be nothing more than an ordinary Indonesian. Probably someone who followed business fan pages and occasionally liked pretending he knew what was going on.“Oh my God...” Aurelia muttered under her breath.She smacked her own forehead, held a long breath, then released it forcefully.Her face burned with embarrassment and relief, like someone who had just realized their fear had been completely unfounded.Her cheeks puffed out in frustration, making her look like a child annoyed with herself.She even glanced around to make sure no one had noticed how ridiculous she must

“My guess was right, wasn’t it? Your precious daughter-in-law couldn’t handle being part of this family.”The sharp remark slipped easily from Mrs. Lestari’s lips. Her tone dripped with mockery, as if the victory belonged to her. Her gaze stabbed toward Mr. Mahesa, who had once looked so proud of A
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 114. Kirana Grows Bolder
The ringing phone on the table shattered the fragile layer of silence in the room. Kirana’s name glowed clearly on the screen, making Gian’s chest tighten. His fingers lifted reflexively, about to grab the phone, but froze in midair when he realized Aurelia had already seen the screen.Aurelia’s ga

That morning, the clock on the dining room wall had just passed seven-oh-five. The scent of toast and warm milk filled the air, yet the atmosphere felt empty to Aurelia. She had woken earlier than usual, not because she had slept well, but because her mind had been far too loud to let her rest.At
LOVE BEYOND THE PAIN 112. Can You Be Trusted?
“Do you trust me?”The words slipped from Gian’s lips, cutting through the silence that had been hanging over the bedroom. His gaze locked onto Aurelia, filled with both hope and fear, as if a single word from his wife would decide the direction of their lives from
