Love Him For Me

Chapter 6- Lost and Found

Dara's eyes were closed as she sings with so much emotion, her favorite song.

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of you
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

Dara fell in love with this song from the first time she heard it. For some reason she felt it was meant for her.

It happened three years ago...

Dara was waiting for Betty to join her. It was the opening day of Mee Theme Park. They agreed to meet there at 6 o'clock but she was already there as early as 5 o'clock because she wanted to catch the sunset and take some pictures too.

Mee Theme Park is located along Gwangalli beach in Busan making it a nice spot to catch a picturesque view of the sunset.

She was in happy spirits as she walked around the park. She was holding her favorite drink, caramel apple cider, on one hand and her digital handy camera on the other while stopping to take pictures of anything she finds interesting. She was enjoying so much she didn't realize it's already dark and no Betty is still on sight.

"Where is she? Dara asked herself getting a little impatient. She tried calling her but she can't be reached.

"I hope she didn't ditch me." Dara moped.

For some reason, there aren't many people in the park that night. A few hours passed, Dara glanced at her watch. It's almost 9 o'clock maybe she should just go. She is pretty sure Betty is not coming. She started to worry thinking something might have happened to Betty that is why she ditched her. She was about to stood up from the dark spot where she was seated near the closed grand carousel when she saw a couple passed by. A few moments later, she noticed the lights from the carousel lit up while an unfamiliar song started playing in the background..

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive...

The song's message hit her. Like the guy singing the song is singing for her.

She got curious so she went near the carousel to see what is happening. That is when she saw a boy getting down on his knees, seemed to be confessing his love to a girl.

Aaaww.... So sweet! She thought. She didn't know things like this happen in real life. She took out her camera and started to take pictures.

"Oh no!" She gasped then ducked when the boy glanced at her direction. She was sure he saw her.

"Ottoke?!ottoke?!." She panicked when she realized she didn't turned off the flash of her camera. She doesn't want to be caught eavesdropping on the other people's special moment so she hide.

Then all of a sudden, it turned quiet.

When she peek to check what's going on, she saw the couple is gone.

Huh?! Where did they go? She asked herself.

She went over to where the girl and the boy were having their 'moment' a while ago when she noticed something that looked like a phone by the carousel. She went over to pick it up.
It was an MP3 player with cracked LCD screen, most likely from when it smashed into the hard cement when it dropped. She looked around her and she noticed she's all alone there. She puts the MP3 player in her pockets and planned to turn it over to one of the park's personnel later. Just a few steps away from the carousel, her eyes caught something shiny. She went over to check and it was a silver apple-shaped box.
