Many, many verbs take certain prepositions and only those prepositions. You should just memorize the verb with the preposition, and not worry about why the preposition goes with the verb, because typically the reasoning is lost in an earlier version of the language.
You will make yourself crazy if you try to find a semantic reason that we "believe in" something instead of "believing on" or"about" it. Just treat "believe in" as an expression that you must memorize independent of "believe." Same with "happen to."
