"P'" Rain yells bolting up in bed.

"I'm right here" Payu touches Rain's back to reassure him

"I was having a bad dream P'"

"Don't worry I'm not going anywhere"

Rain lays back down, snuggling up to Payu, his head on his shoulder, leg draped over his thighs

"It's our last day P', what time do we leave"

"Our flight is at night around 10pm, I switched it the day we got here, I think It will help to just sleep on the way home" Rain nods, agreeing

"So, i've made plans for us today" Payu combs his fingers through Rain's messy morning hair, working out some knots.

"Really?, where are we going"

"Nope, it's my one last surprise for you" Payu grins

"Aww man, really, I don't ever get to know anything" Rain pouts "Can I get a hint" smiling up a Payu

"Hmm let's see...Ok...Dark and damp and Sunny and wet" Payu offers

"WHAT, what kind of.....hmmm" Rain tries to work out the riddle in his head

"Ok let's get ready, we should get there around noon"

"I'll be back right in this spot at 6pm" Wayan the driver explained to them "Dont worry even if I don't hear from you I will wait for you" He assures them, knowing the nightmare Payu went through the day before.

"Thanks man " Payu shook the man's hand while slipping the driver 5,000,000 IDR. "I really appreciate your help"

Payu and Rain gathered their bags and went to stand in line to get on a boat to Crystal Island.
Just a quick 10 min ride on the choppy waters and a long walk to their destination once they arrived. Finding themselves looking down from the top of a mountain to the most crystal blue waters they had ever seen. White foam tipped waves gently crashing the shoreline. They had to travel down stairs that were etched into the side of the mountain in a zig zag pattern descending to the bottom, the last 10 min of their trek down, the stairs turned into more like large rocks with a rope on the side to help get you down, it took them almost 30 min. Payu doing his best to guide Rain down carefully. Once they finally reach the very bottom, they started the journey to the beach. Beautiful white sandy beaches wrapping around the small yet lengthy island. There are not a ton of people here today, most of the crowd is up near a look out point where people are swinging on what looked like very large chairs.

"We aren't dong that are we P'" Rain looked a little worried

Payu laughs "No I have other plans for us, don't worry" Ruffling Rains hair

"But we have to keep walking, so let's move"

They walk for what feels like an hour down the beach coming to where the island juts out into the ocean making the beachfront very narrow, they walk around it to a very small beach area, and there are no people here. Tucked back into the mountain side is a small cave, with a very low ceiling.

"Is that a cave P'" Rain lets go of Payu's hand and zips over to the cavernous hole in the wall of the mountain.

"Careful" Payu yells "Don't fall" The last thing he needs is for Rain to hurt himself and then how are they going to get back up the mountain

The opening to the cave is small about 4 feet high and maybe 16 feet long in the shape of an upside down crescent moon. A blanket adorns the ground half of it out of the cave half in. The blanket is covered by more blankets folded near the edge and 2 very large handled baskets sitting next to them
