Sparks of love

"Hey, it's time for you to get shifted to the Central prison" yelled the police officer to a prisoner in a cellar. The prisoner woke up, under his eyes, there were tear marks. "Josh Jaggers" was the name on the prisoner's shirt. The police accompanied Josh to the Central prison. Josh, walking on the hallways of the prison, thinking about his mistakes, thinking how he ended up in this tragic situation.

It all happened 17 years ago. Josh was 10 years old back then. Josh was a depressed person. His father, Harvey Jagger, was too strict towards him. He was made to isolate himself from his friends for studies, he was not allowed to have his entertainment. No games, fewer movies, more educational books. This is how Josh spent his life until one incident happened.

Josh was sitting on a bench in his school, alone, wondering how he had performed for the exams. Natalia a classmate of Josh, saw josh sitting alone on the school bench and walked up to him. She asked Josh about his interests. Josh replied that he liked games, movies, books, and artwork. Natalia got surprised and told him that she liked games too. Josh was happy to hear that. After they talked for a while, Natalia asked Josh, whether he would like to accompany her home. Josh got a bit afraid after hearing that because his father doesn't allow friends, especially female friends. But Josh calmed himself since it's just a walk to drop her. He accepted her request.

After school got over, both headed back to their homes, while talking to each other. On their way home, they visited some stores and then continued to head home. Josh dropped her at her home. Her house was just like every other house, not too big nor too small. Before Josh could leave the house, Natalia asked him to wait for a moment. Natalia asked josh whether she could visit his house? Josh didn't expect this. He was now in a tight situation, thinking if he can allow her or not? Josh's father might get angry at him if his father sees him with a girl. But Josh didn't want to refuse Natalia, so he allowed her to visit his house. She asked when she could visit him? He replied, "maybe next Saturday". Natalia agreed with the timings. After that, they promised that they would meet again on Saturday and left the place.

It was Saturday, the day Natalia will be visiting Josh. As promised Natalia arrived at Josh's house. The reason why Josh picked Saturday is that, out of 7 days in a week, Saturday is the only day where his parents arrive late at home. Josh welcomed Natalia. After entering the house, Natalia looked around the house, fascinated. Natalia and Josh read some books and had some gossip together. When they were spending time together, Natalia took notice of something. Even though Josh loved games, there was not a single game in his house. Natalia asked Josh why he didn't have any games in his house. Josh explained to her, the whole situation with his father. He also explained that he loved games and had seen his classmates play them but he can't have one because his father doesn't allow such things. Natalia understanding the situation of Josh, felt sorry for him. Being late, Natalia left Josh's house saying 'goodbye' to him.

After that, both started visiting each other's house, many times. Natalia got attracted to Josh in due time. But Josh never knew of Natalia's feelings for him.

Natalia thought that Josh also had a mutual feeling for her.

From friends, they became best friends and Josh still didn't have any feelings for Natalia. But there was one incident that made Josh fall for Natalia.
