This happened in the Worker’s Day public holiday. A day before (31st May 2007), I was home for this long waited holiday; as before that week, I’ve been struggling my ass off to catch up with all my works and assignment that’s due too close.

So what the heck. Let’s skipped the Monday classes (after all, two of my classes was cancelled) and went back home, I thought. I never thought that it would be a horrible experience for me the next day.

It was dark, I guess it was about 6 o’ clock in the morning. I was woke up by noises, which until today, I can’t figured out what. Child screaming maybe? At that time, I thought its my little brother and sister quarelling over something. To my suprise, I saw two black, shadowy figures – man and woman. Nothing much I can do, as I was not sober enough from my so early morning wake. All I can recalled, after seeing those two figures, I was blindfolded. I was gagged.

Darkness in my memory. All that I remembered was I being pushed over into some car, with my hands tied. I can’t scream – my mouth was mute. It just felt like a really long journey, which I dozed off and only being awaked by bumps and holes around the road. It was then that I know its already morning – the sunshine rays slipped from the outside of my blind.

Then I was dragged into a seat – a kind of stiffen sofa maybe. It has it back so hard that I can’t move it to lay aback. That was when I got my blindfold removed. Some women in red skirts or pants. Looks like stewardess. Its the moment that I found out that I was in an aeroplane. The stiffen sofa was actually a three row seats – I got my family besides me. They look ill, and pale. My little brother’s face is whiter than ghost. I just give a look of assurance to play along and reduced his worry.

I’ve never been in an aeroplane. This was my first time. And I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. I was always dreaming that my first experience boarding a plane would be with my love on a way to New Zealand or Las Vegas. My hands was sweating. My pulse was going crazy. I felt so cold – but yet sweats keep going down from my forehead.

The plane moved slowly at first, I thought that it was going into some coordinate or something. The engine roars like a deafening sound of a tiger – too close to my ear. I was praying that we would be alright and living for the next day. Then suddenly, the plane was gaining speed so fast that I felt like I’m out of air!!!

Oh My God!! I was having asphyxiation!

The plane starts to leave the Earth below. From the small windows, I can see that all things become tiny. The God View. It calms me down to see all the green turning small, and being replaced with sweet yellowish rays and clouds. However, my stomach didn’t feel too good; especially when the time the plane suddenly changing its placement from horizontal going into vertical position. I felt like having a turbulance soaring my stomach – I felt wanna puke, but the mouth bound stopped me from doing so.

Okay okay.. back to the storyline!

When the situation was calm again, I started to worry. It’s too many people, so I can’t recognize who were the kidnapper. And I wondered how they manage to get me into public plane without being asked any question.

Not only that, I worried of the location that they wanna take us. I worried about my fate. I didn’t even marry yet!!

Nevertheless, the flight comed to an end. I started feeling the turbulence when the plane’s position started to rewind. From the horizontal position into downward vertical position. Again, a tornado in my stomach violating. Rumbling into my adrenaline. Feeling weak. Feeling lost. Hoping, praying…

Then it happened. The impact of gravity. I was shocked that I almost swallowed the cloth that gagged my mouth. Scary stuff, really. Its not smooth as expected from the telly. Its suck.

Again it shows how many times that telly has been selling lies…

After a few minutes only that I regain my sober. Feeling a little bit dizzy, nausea, and sweats, I realized one fact for a moment – I’ve flied for the first time in my life!!!

And so it goes…

P/s: hehe.. actually I never been kidnapped. I just making things up to spice up the story. Actually, all that I want to tell is how I feel about being in a plane – for the first time in my life!! After 21 years! I’m flyingg~~

lol. Don’t get offended, my dear readers… I know its lame.
