Other than her pretty face, there was nothing left of a Mia except just her stupidity.
The illegitimate child who was stupid, never attended school was not liked by his presence in the middle of the famous Kuncoro family.
Her mother was Gani Kuncoro's lover long before her father married Tiara for their parents' matchmaking. Her mother died after giving birth to her and since then Mia was handed over to her father who then brought her into the family Kuncoro.
Gani also has two daughters from her marriage to Tiara. One was named Jihan and the other was named Yuri.
Gani begs Tiara to accept Mia.
Tiara did accept her but treated Mia very unfavorably.
Since childhood, Mia was treated like a slave. It is not uncommon for Mia to be beaten and humiliated by her stepmother and her two younger siblings.
Gani, of course know their treatment. But he did not also defend Mia and pura did not know. Because if he defends Mia there is only a quarrel. Tiara assumed complete control over Gani as she felt their wealth was from her family.
One day, though,
Their company is bankrupt and is on the verge of collapse.
Once again, Mia should be the victim of their bad treatment. Mia must be willing to marry a disabled man in order to save her family's company.
Garra Mahendra, by,
The only heir to the Mahendra family. The number one richest family in the country. The disabled man, who could only lie on a mattress, was paralyzed two years ago with no apparent cause after the deaths of his parents from an accident.
Now Garra lives with her grandmother and grandfather and also the uncle and aunt of her father's family in her main house. While her mother's family is just ordinary villagers who have nothing.
Rumors are circulating, young Mr. Garra is not only paralyzed, but unable to speak and deaf.
And the will of Bastian Mahendra, the father of Garra Mahendra, the rightful owner of the entire wealth of the Mahendra family, that all his wealth will fall into the hands of his only son after his son is married.
Then Garra's uncle, Abraham, made an announcement. Anyone who has a daughter and is willing to marry his nephew will get a high fee.
Hearing the sole heir of the Mahendra family, obviously a lot of tempted, no matter even though the man who is being sought the wife is not a normal man, but a disabled man who can only lie in bed only.
Lots of people came to submit themselves, but all did not pass the selection.
Abraham himself, deliberately scraping the details of every girl who volunteered to be his nephew's wife. Because he really must choose the best and obedient girl to be the companion of the prospective sole heir of the Mahendra family.
Until one day,
Gani Kuncoro came with his wife to meet Abraham and offer their daughter.
Before receiving her, Abraham had clearly been looking for details about their daughter without their knowledge first with the help of Garra's personal secretary.

Inside the large room of an office, the couple was heard pleading with a tone so clear and this for the second time they came.
"Please help us, sir! Our daughter can be a good and obedient wife to your disabled niece. I dare to assure you, Sir!" Tiara said as she pulled on her husband's Gani Kuncoro's arm to code for her husband to plead too.
"Why are you so sure, madam?" Ask Mr. Abraham, as the interim leader of Mahendra Group.
"Because we educated our daughter well from childhood, until our daughter became an obedient girl and would not argue with us." said Tiara in flames.
"Thank you Mister. Thanks.!" Tiara answered with sparkling eyes while glancing at her husband who was just silent without a word of it.
"Go away, and prepare your daughter well." Abraham.
The couple nodded, bowing, standing up and stepping out of the magnificent office.
"It looks like our efforts will go smoothly." Said Sintia, the woman who was in the room earlier. The woman who was none other than Abraham's own wife.
"Yes, you're right. Turns out you're smart, not in vain you're Abraham's wife." Abraham smiled at Sintia.
Meanwhile, the couple who were already in their residence were heard talking seriously in his room.
"What we're doing is too much, ma'am! All this time, we've never loved Mia well, and now we're going to marry her to a disabled man!" Grumpy Gani.
"Heard ya? It's a good thing I received that bastard in this house. Married a disabled man but sole heir to the Mahendra Group company. Who can resist, huh? Mia will get wealth and a respectable name. Then us? Could save your bankrupt company. It's time for Mia to sacrifice for us. Don't just me sacrifice for him, your bastard son!" Tiara shouted at her husband.
Gani just silently heard the words of his wife, to argue he did not have the courage because what his wife said was true reality, indeed, although in his heart tucked a sense of not being able to Mia his daughter. However, Mia is the child of the woman she loves so much.

Mia squeezed both her hands under the table, the girl biting her lips after her stepmother finished talking to her in front of her father who also helped justify her wife's remarks.
"Can you do this for us Mia, just think of it as your return to us who have taken care of you this big?" Tiara's sharp speech was full of emphasis.
There was nothing Mia could do but just nod. His defense was definitely useless and would only be in vain without being able to save him.
Mia knows, this is not a matchmaking but a sale on her. But Mia was willing. Demi can be considered a family, for the sake of being able to help a family that is willing to accept illegitimate children like him. Although Mia was aware, this was the beginning of a suffering that perhaps her depth could not be estimated by her.
Reply Budi! Reply Budi!
You must return the favor to us Mia!
The voice kept ringing in his ears.
The two people before him smiled happily, no matter the crystal clear droplets that had melted on the cheeks of the girl sitting before them.
'What do they care about me! After all, I was just an illegitimate child who did not want his presence.'
'Well, maybe in this way, they'll be happy. And I can start a new life without insults from them!'
Mia stood up, her weak legs stepping towards her narrow room.
He stood in front of the glass. Reflecting on his own shadow.
'Is it too inappropriate for me to live with my family? Mother... Why don't you take me with you, Mom? Maybe it's better than my whole life'
Mia rubbed her face. This is his poor stupid face. The face that might soon be gone from the eyes of those who looked disdainfully at him.
Mia lies down on her bad bed. Trying to close my eyes. And tomorrow he must be prepared to wait for the next hell.
You can definitely ! You're gonna be okay, Mia!
