Chapter 32 - O.T. 2 and 3: That Thing Called Tadhana

-Bella's POV-

As for today's operation throwback chapter, it'll be just the both of us, so now on this very fine weekend (yes, I waited for the weekend since I met him on a Saturday), I'm taking him to the park where we first met :)

"Where to this time?" Darren asks, facing me.

"Secret." I tapped his nose, then he snatched my phone and opened the camera.

"Instagram." He says after taking selfies with me. He's seriously too vain and adorable hahaha!

"We should use your phone nextime, aye? Nagiging taga upload ako eh." I say, but eventually I had to upload the photos. (Yes, I brought pocket wifi hahaha)

"Good girl." He patted my head. "Caption it Lella."

"He told me to caption this 'Lella' xx @darrenespanto1" I followed then shut my phone.

Moments later, we reached our destination.

"This is it?" Darren crossed his arms as he got out of the car.

"Yeah. Beautiful right?" I looked back at him, squinting my eyes because of the light.

"Parang ikaw."

I just smiled at his statement, taking him to the playground.

--------------------

"This is where it all started." I gestured as I sat down on the swing.

"I knew it." He smiled, taking something out of his wallet.

"Heyyy." I laughed, grabbing the photo he's holding. "I'm pretty sure this is mine."

Our first photo. The feels it gives me though...

-9 years ago-

"Mommy, daddy, can I go to the shwiiiiing?" I whine as I point to the swing set.

"Princess, abot mo ba yan?" Dad chuckled, bending down to be in the same level as my face.

"I wanna do it on my own daddy! I'm a big girl now!" I grin, running to the swing afterwards.

"Kyaaah." I kicked with all my force, but due to being such a short kid, hindi ko abot :(

"Di mo abot?" spoke a kid from beside me. He's sitting on the swing beside me.

I frowned as I shook my head. "Let me help you!"

My frown instantly disappeared as he pushed the swing forward. "Hold on tight or you'll fall off the rocket ship!"

"This isn't a rocket ship!" My eyebrows furrowed.

"Do you want to ride in one?" He asked and I nod. "Then just pretend it is one!"

He stopped pushing me then sat on the swing he was on awhile ago. "Ready for take off captain... Uh, what's your name?"

"Ishabewa."

"Whaaaaat?"

"Ishabewa!"

"What is an Ishabewa?"

"That's my name! I-sha-be-waaaaaaaa!"

"Well, Ishabewa, I'm Darren."

"Dawen?"

"Da-rren,"

"Da-wen."

"DAAAAAAAAAARREN."
