It is no secret that Sulawesi Island has a very beautiful and charming water area. The beauty of the small islands that are so captivating to the eye will be easy to find and explore. Not only is Wakatobi very beautiful there, it turns out that there are still many beautiful islands. One of them is Labengki Island which is known as the Raja Ampat of Sulawesi. This island is in the district. Lasolo Labengki Village, North Konawe Regency, Prov. Southeast Sulawesi.

This island offers underwater beauty that can be compared to other places in Sulawesi such as Wakatobi to Bunaken. Why do many call Labengki Island the Raja Ampat of Sulawesi? because this destination has almost the same nuance as Raja Ampat, which consists of large rocks that are approaching above the ocean at various points. This cluster of large and small coral islands was mapped into Labengki Besar Island and Labengki Kecil Island.

Labengki Island itself is an inhabited island. There are about 100 families living on this island who are all Bajo Tribe. Also has a lighthouse that was built during the Dutch colonial period and a beautiful and natural lake. This island can be reached from several points in Southeast Sulawesi, including Kendari City, Konawe Regency, or North Konawe Regency.

We all arrived and set foot on the soft white sand, did not go straight to the inn. Edwards wants us to go camping by building some tents near the beach.

He just asked the Tour Guide to allow it, and it turned out that we were able to make only a few tents.

I stare at the expanse of the sea that is so beautiful and charming, Choosing to sit for a while and feel the breeze that pampers us.

"The sea is very beautiful, doesn't it seem like there are rarely tourists here, huh?" I asked one of the tour guides beside me.

"Yes, the first is because this place is difficult to reach and the journey takes quite a long time. After all, it's a weekday, so rarely anyone is on vacation. Here, it's not only a dish of clear sea with a cool island in the middle but tourists or visitors can also see the view of the bay of love in the shape of a heart. The shape can be seen in two ways. First by trekking to the top of the hill or the second is to fly a drone. What must be known is that this shape can only be seen from a height where tourists have to climb to the top of the hill by trekking because it's quite steep. We'll be there later, Miss would love to see it." The tour guide said, I who heard his invitation, of course immediately nodded excitedly.

After he said that, he went to open one of the island guards. I saw Edwards who brought green coconut for me, he also gave some sweet cakes that can be eaten. We just sat barefoot on the sand, I was also trying to enjoy this moment well.

"Here, have a drink.. the weather is getting hot, Indonesia is a tropical country. So hot weather like this is common here." Edwards said, I nodded in understanding. take a green coconut that has been opened at the end, I just need to suck it up with the straw that has been provided. the water is very fresh in the hot weather.

Even though it was still quite early in the morning, the sun was shining so brightly. Luckily the sea breeze made the atmosphere less stuffy.

"You drink too, you sweat profusely on your forehead. We're used to the cold now it's very warm." I said quietly, I wiped his forehead with my palm. Edwards leaned his head even closer and was now leaning on my shoulder. Looks like he's tired and wants to be spoiled.

"The tent will be prepared, I'm quite lazy to put up the tent now. Better to sit with you and enjoy the morning air. Morning is like noon here. Are you hot or not? Do you want to go to one of the resorts? There is air conditioning there." Edwards' words only I responded by shaking my head.

"You'll see, it's also a vacation. Everything that happens must be enjoyed well, after all, it's been a long time since I haven't felt the sun as hot as it is now." I said, He nodded. then he raised his head and drank coconut water to freshen his throat.

I chose to unwrap the cake and eat it voraciously, I was quite hungry because of the long journey. Seeing how Edwards was enjoying the current atmosphere, I also enjoyed it and chose to remain silent. Edwards asked for the cake I ate, he was now used to eating what was in my hand. I gave it, to be more precise, fed it again.

Not complaining or feeling tired of his childish behavior, I felt needed by Edwards' side and I loved everything I did.

"Why did you choose this place, Edwards?" I asked, after a while there was no conversation between us.

"When I was little, my mother always traveled to various countries. She often went to Indonesia to visit remote islands and enjoy relaxing places. I saw one of her photos that had visited here. It's been a long time. Decades ago, the place is also so beautiful and very remote. like a forest that is not too densely populated, That's why I want to come here. I want to feel the beauty that my mother had felt long ago, I have actually visited several other places. The place my mother visited, and this place is a place eighth. Everything is full of amazing beauty, it's only now that you have tasted all of its beauty right?" Edwards asked me, after he had briefly explained why he was here.

"Of course, especially since I never leave the apartment. This is really like a painting that is so extraordinary, We can enjoy everything together. Your mother is very good at choosing a vacation spot, I know why you like Traveling alone. Because there is your mother's blood. flowing to you, making you like things like this. But really, I want you to be able to take trips to many places, we can do it together. especially in the presence of our children, our vacation will be more interesting for sure." I said a little wishful thinking, and Edwards immediately laughed quite loudly at what I said.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked confused.

"It's nice, hearing all your dreams that you say so briefly and so passionately. Makes me want to quickly resign from work and we travel around the world with our children. I promise, if I still have a long life and health. I will do my best. whatever you want, we will see the world before our own eyes." Edwards said, he agreed with what I said.

"You promise? Then I'll keep your promise one day huh. Just watch out if you lie." I said quietly, I pinched his strong arm. then I lay my head on his shoulder, for some reason now Edwards smelled so good, even though he was sweating a lot.. it doesn't smell at all, but it makes me lean on it even more.
