A Twisted Love Story(Part 1)

Natasha Kapoor was flying back home. Home! How she missed home and her parents. It had been almost a month since she saw them. She was an only child of her parents and at the age of 24, they were still very protective of her. She remembered how hard it had been to persuade her parents to let her come to Pakistan. She was one of the doctors working with Medecins Sans Frontieres. MSF helped people worldwide where the need was greatest, delivering emergency medical aid to people affected by conflicts, epidemics,disasters or exclusion from health care. It had been her first project with MSF and she liked helping underprivileged people.

Somebody sat next to her and pulled her out of her reverie. She saw a beautiful couple with a cute boy aged about 5. The boy was restless and his parents had to settle him down. The woman gave her a polite smile and started a conversation. They had been chatting when a guy moved past them through the aisle. The guy stopped for a minute and looked at Natasha. Natasha felt someone staring at her and looked up. There was a guy looking at her intently. The first thought that came to her mind was how handsome he was. She had stopped mid-sentence and was staring at him. The woman looked from her to the guy she was staring at and cried out, 'Rehaan Khan... Rehaan Khan!' The guy.. err.. Rehaan Khan flashed her a beautiful smile and proceeded to take his seat. The woman ran after him and Natasha heard her ask him for an autograph. So he was a celebrity! 'He must be a movie star.' Natasha thought. When the woman came back, she was gleefully smiling. She told Natasha how big a fan of Rehaan Khan she was. He was her favorite pop star.

Natasha glanced at Rehaan Khan and realized he was looking at her. She quickly looked away. Rehaan couldn't help but smile. She was really beautiful. He would like to know her... be with her. He was deep in thoughts when the air hostess started giving instructions. He blocked her out and tried to get some sleep. They had been airborne for almost half an hour when he heard shrieks from around him. He woke up with a start. He saw three men holding guns. One of them announced that they had hijacked the plane. Some people started crying, some were too terrified to do anything. The terrorists submitted people into silence. One of them went to cockpit,while the other two kept guard.

Natasha was terrified. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She thought she was never going to see her parents again. The thought made her dizzy and she felt as if she was going to pass out. Then all of a sudden she saw Rehaan Khan getting up from his seat and tackle one of the terrorists. In a flash,Rehaan pushed him down and throttled him. The second man came ready to gun Rehaan down but Rehaan lunged at him snatching the gun away from him. He then hit the man with the gun and knocked him unconscious. The third terrorist came out running but before he could do anything Rehaan shot him down. It was all over within minutes.

Rehaan walked into the cockpit and showed the pilot his I.D. which stated he was an ISI agent. He told the pilot to fly back to Lahore.
