Open Your Heart Back for Me
Officially a husband and wife couple

After finishing the ceremony, now, Ines and Nicolas sit on the stage, Nicolas can only be silent occasionally glancing at Ines, the woman who is now officially his wife. Nicolas thinks Ines and his grandfather are equally mysterious.

 Darto a master of tea plantations in his village, he is known and respected there, has a grandson named Ines Prama. The existence of the grandson is not much to know, because Darto closed about his granddaughter.

Because of Darto's request. Nicolas's staying tonight at Ines's.

”I want to go home to Jakarta Oma. I've done everything Oma wanted.”

“You are now the husband of the woman,” said Marisa.

“Then?” He asked later.

“You will stay here, spend your bridal night with your wife,” whispered Marisa full of emphasis.

“Oma ..!”

“Don't argue, it's a request of Darto.”

Seeing the face of his mother, Nicolas relents, he agrees to stay at Ines' house that night.

The night they both entered the room.

His bed was sprinkled with flowers and on a small table were two glasses and a bottle of wine and decorated with candles burning with therapeutic aromas, It's all the work of the orphanage kids who want to make a surprise for Ines. Then bring Ines there by closing his eyes, in the room was Nicolas treated the same,

Then he was pushed by the children into the room, they chuckled and closed the door from the outside

“Enjoy the night of your bride, Sister,” their tease

Ines removed the blindfold, he was surprised to see Nicolas sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him sharply.

Ines also looked around, he was embarrassed to see the decoration of the bridal room.

“Basic children lack of work,” said Ines blamed the light switch and blew the candle out.

The atmosphere so silent only the sound of crickets that are mutually unpretentious from outside the house.

Ines is very awkward because this is the first time sitting alone with a man, two people who do not know each other and have never met in one room, to perform their obligations as husband and wife.

 But Ines felt sorry for Nicolas because he was a young town boy who was forced to marry a village girl like him, then he ventured to start a conversation to expel the silence.

“Do you need anything?” ask Ines

“Nothing, I just want to sleep.”

“Alright, rest.” Ines wants to stand up.

“Can you get me out of this tacky room? so I can sleep peacefully.”

“I'm sorry, can't because they locked us in from the outside.” Ines pushed the door handle but locked.

“It wasn't your wish and grandpa's so we could be both in this room?”

“I didn't plan it, it was their idea,” said Ines calmly, he knew from the look in Nicolas' eyes must be angry.

“Are you happy to marry me?” nicolas asked with grunting lips.

“ Everything that happened today, my grandfather's wish, he planned it all.

“OH, your grandfather .. and you were silent when you were betrothed to a man you didn't know?” nicolas said, he expressed all the anger he had saved since yesterday.

“I am tired and have no more energy arguing with you, I want to sleep.” Ines laid his body on the bridal bed that had been sprinkled with flower petals.

Ines was like a hard slap from the man, but he was silent.

“If your family is great and you are great, I am not interested in you, I would rather marry a vagrant but have a conscience,” Nicolas said .

“We are not a great family and I am not the beautiful woman you see today.  I can't let you cancel the marriage after seeing me, so I asked not to introduce me to your family first. I hope it doesn't add to your anger as well.”

“ What does it mean?”

“I think after we get married, I'll be honest with you,” Ines said.

Then he went into the bathroom rubbing the thick makeup that covered his face, then he came out. Nicolas' eyes glared in shock, it turned out that Ines was not as beautiful as when she was wearing bridal clothes, the woman's face was black.

‘Sial ... is he that bad? Why is his face like a cauldron of gosong’ said Nicolas in his heart, he increasingly felt annoyed.

“What are you afraid of?” ask Ines.

“Then what's your goal of showing your ugly face?” ask cynical Nicolas.

“For you to know.”

If you are a woman who thinks smart should be before marriage you show your ugly face,” Nicolas said he was getting angry when he saw the real face of the woman he just married.

“Just because I'm smart, I don't want you to see my ugly face before the wedding, it definitely makes you reject me.”.

“That means you are both parents are equally crafty.” said Nicolas angrily.

Ines was very upset to hear the grandfather being insulted, he did not accept the words of Nicholas, the words of the man alluded to him.

“I reiterate to you, I am also a madman and I am a madman, that is the person you marry,” Ines said angrily 'making Nicolas even more furious

 “I will sleep under and sleep in bed, I will not sleep with a bad woman like you,” Nicolas replied.

“No, I'm just on the floor,” said Ines.

“No, let me sleep downstairs, this is your house and I'm a guest on

here, as well as if in my house, you will sleep on the floor, see your shape like that, I'm sure we will not sleep one bed, your face makes me nauseous,” said Nicolas.

“What's that talk not so rude to the woman you just married?” ask Ines.

“No,” replies again, and then he sleeps on the thin carpeted floor.

                          *

When he woke up he felt his whole body hurt. Nicolas used to sleep on a soft mattress in his house. However, he was now forced to sleep on the floor. Nicolas turned to his left, no one, not long after the door opened, Ines came with warm milk.

“Please drink, it's still warm,” he said kindly, he opened the room window.

Nicolas has not said, he is still staring at the dull face of Ines.

‘Why did this woman turn so close? I should have refused to marry him. What if my friends know that I am married to a girl like this’ Nicolas said in his heart.

“Don't look at me with such a strange look,” Ines said.

‘Should I leave this woman and I run away?’ Nicolas.

“You are strange, your appearance is strange, your attitude is strange,” Nicolas said.

How do the two go through the household if Nicolas hates his ugly wife?
