The next day Josh went to visit Natalia, but Natalia was not at her house. Josh wondered, where Natalia could be. Josh searched everywhere, he searched the school, the parks, the stores, the malls, and all other places. But Josh was not able to find Natalia. Josh asked Natalia's friends about her location and finally one of her friends told her that they last saw her at the riverside. Josh rushed towards the river. Josh was running towards the river with his tired legs, sweaty arms, and a guilty face. Josh reached the riverside. Josh was panting, trying to stabilize his breath. Then Josh looked around and saw Natalia at the other side of the river. Natalia noticed Josh at the other side of the river but pretended to not see him. Josh got behind her and didn't know how to start a conversation with her. While Josh was nervous to start a conversation, Natalia turned around and said "so you finally came to meet me". Josh replied "Sorry for making you wait". Natalia asked Josh, why did he try to commit suicide? Josh replied, "first, I want to apologize for the trouble I have caused you, and second, I want to thank you for saving my life". Natalia then said "putting aside all your thanks and apologizes, explain to me why did you try to take your own life!!?? Josh explained to her how society, relatives, and his classmates treated him for a mistake, he has caused. Natalia got angered, not at the ones who caused trouble for Josh but she was angry at Josh for not telling her sooner. Natalia asked Josh why didn't he tell all this to her. Josh told Natalia that he thought it would have bothered her since his problems were none of her business. Now she got angrier than before, she got so angry that she hit Josh in his head. Natalia told Josh that it never would have bothered her and she would have been happy to hear his problems. Then Josh asked Natalia why she cares about him so much. Natalia replied, "because you are my friend". Josh then reassured, "no, that's not the answer, even a simple friend wouldn't care so much". Natalia asked Josh "why are you asking this now?". Josh then replied, "Because I have fallen for you, will you go out with me?". Natalia got shocked by the sudden confession and she accepted him right away since she already had a crush on Josh.
Both Josh and Natalia started dating out. Slowly and slowly they were learning about each other and in the due time, they even lost their virginity at the age of 14(lol). Josh's parents never knew of his relationship with Natalia. Josh never told his parents about his relationship with Natalia. Because Josh knew that if he told his relationship with Natalia to his parents, his father will not spare him. But Josh told his Mother about his girlfriend since his Mom is nicer and kinder compared to his father. He also asked his Mom to keep it a secret. Like that Josh and Natalia had a happy relationship of 3 years until something bad happened.
