Sela Ardistia is willing to throw away the happiness of love to a boyfriend who has been her boyfriend since High School, both fantasizing about marriage, building a simple family, having cute and aging children together.


But the reality that Sela had to accept was that the delusion did not make the debts in her family paid off.


Born in a poor family with his two younger siblings, of course, resulted in his parents always owe moneylenders for the needs of life that can not be bargained.


One by one their property is sold to cover the interest on debt that continues to bloom in loan shark fields, until finally the family-owned house must move ownership in order to pay off.


Moving to a small rented house, the old and sickly father, made the mother sell around, but that was not enough, because the cost of school Sela and her sisters still have to be paid.


Bitter what Sela had to accept as a poor person, until after she graduated school and worked as a clothing store SPG, did not make the economy in the family better.


But who would have thought, at a time when family conditions were still in disarray, Sela's boyfriend said he wanted to propose to her. And it got a rejection.


"I hope so too, I marry you and we make a family together, but look at you, you're nothing more than a small motorcycle repair shop clerk, if I marry you, if I marry you, it was the same as making my family plunge into the abyss of misery. We'd better end it, I don't want to put an uncertain hope." That's what Sela said to refuse a proposal from her own boyfriend.


Sela threw away all hopes and dreams, sadness was certainly there, because she also loved the man very much. But tears can not make the stomach of one family full, marriage with a man who is equally poor, only to add to the suffering in his life.


And one way to change destiny in the life of the Sela family is to find a rich man, even though it's old bangka and the smell of the land, it was there that he found Brahman while offering clothes in the shop where he worked.


Of course, at first, Sela was only a mistress of Brahman, more seducing and accompanying sleep, it became an advantage, because she got everything she wanted during her life as a poor person.


Branded bags, diamond jewelry, expensive clothes, cars, and money for the needs of his family. Sela's relationship continued after Brahman's wife died.


Sela also without hesitation accepted Brahman's proposal, because it would change the life of the poor family he bore.


No matter if Brahman's children resisted and hated him, he would continue to act as a good wife, loving Brahman wholeheartedly and taking care of the household as usual. As long as it makes life better, all will be done without hesitation.


And now.....


Sela saw one man who was willing to throw away all happiness on his family's property. He's Istianti.


As a person once in the position of Isti of course he is not comfortable and try to give advice...."I really don't understand what you expect from your life right now, Sister Isti."


"I'm sorry, for this time I'm a little talkative madam... My life is my own election, you don't have to take care of my problems, just enjoy the wealth you expect, I don't care." Reply Isti issued a high tone of voice because he was tired of hearing all the coercion from Sela.


Two women with two different destinies. Sela was willing to sacrifice anything for happiness, and Isti was willing to throw everything away for happiness.


"Yes I understand, Isti's sorry."


Until not long after the conversation, one man walked in with a packet of rice in plastic.


"Oh, Miss Sela, good day." Ryan said politely.


Sela smiled as well...."Ryan you've come."


But right behind Ryan was a girl still wearing school uniform following him. She is Reina, where when she sees Sela in the room, the beautiful face turns tangled to show how reluctant Renia is to meet her stepmother.


"Dan ... You're coming here, Reina." Lazy Sela's stepdaughter. Even so, he still acted relaxed.


"Yes, why?, don't you like." Fierce Reina's reply was upset.


Sela was equally unhappy...."At least answer a little politely."


Bored Sela responded to Renia's attitude which always made her have to be patient, if not for the position as the wife of Brahman, of course Sela would not want to bother herself to take care of Reina.


Istian who saw Reina's attitude just smiled weakly, he knew how difficult it was to take care of children, but fortunately Ryan was not a puberty teenager and often rebelled, so Istian felt grateful.


"Ryan, where is Nella, isn't she coming with you." Ask Ryan.


"Nella has to go home, yes she has other activities."


"Oh that... Get me a seat for Miss Reina."


"Good mother."


One seat that Ryan had brought, but Sela immediately stood up because she had quite a lot of chatting with Isti, moreover being in one room with Reina was not making Sela comfortable.


Sela stood up and wanted to leave...."Now it's my turn to go home. Sister Isti, rest enough, hopefully get well soon."


"Thank you madam."


Ryan followed...."Then let me take you out."


Ryan volunteered to deliver Sela with another goal, of course there are many things he wants to talk about.


"So Miss Reina, please take care of my mother for a moment."


"Wait...." Reina hasn't spoken yet, Ryan's gone.


'Currently, why should he concern himself with driving the woman away.' Reina thought resentfully.


The uneasy atmosphere between Reina and Isti now, where for a month Isti worked in his house, never once did they talk to each other.


That was because when Reina was little, Istianti really paid attention like Reina's own biological mother. So it was not easy for him to think of Isti like a maid.


Playing with Ryan certainly made Reina familiar with her family, every time she cried after being scolded by her mother, Reina would go to Ryan's house and complain to Istianti.


Everything felt so beautiful at the time. Remember how Isti combed her hair, cooked good food or even taught how to make flowers from paper folds.


Istianti slowly rubbed Reina's hand, a smile as she endured the pain showed meekly.


"What's the matter mom, do you need anything." Ask Reina.


"It's nothing, it's just that Miss Reina, you should be more polite to Ms. Sela, she's trying to be a good mother to you." Isti was also reluctant to Reina's attitude which could not be polite to older people.


"I think she's just pretending to be a mom because she wants my dad's money." Cibir Reina is aware that Sela does not really love herself.


"It's not wrong, but he's trying to get your attention, so try to understand."


"I don't want to, she can't take my mother's place or want to make me respect her." Answer Reina.


She always expected a daughter, but unfortunately after Ryan was born, Istianti no longer got a second chance, so Ryan became the only child she had.


But the presence of Reina who always plays with Ryan, of course, has been considered by Isti like his own son. Even though the hatred for Brahman was great, Reina had no right to take away the sins of her father.
