PART I
The Biography
Hi, my name is Sitti Maemunah. As you're reading this thread right now, you must have known my name as one of the missing Flight 815 passengers! I'm 25 years old and I came from a noble family in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. People in my country value high morality the most, so that is why women in our society should be a virgin until we get married.
I'm a successful lecturer in Biology major, you may call me the smartest one in my university, so it's not that hard for me to get a job, since there are a lot of companies wanting to hire me, but I chose to be a lecturer, for teaching has always been my dream since I was a little kid. Unfortunately, my love life is not as bright as my career life. I'm a 25 years old woman, and I never dated a guy before. My dad never gave me permission to go out with a guy while I was still in high school or college, and since I'm a daddy's little girl, I always maintain to be his favorite daughter. So my whole life has always been around study...study....and study! I enjoy reading and studying as you may already know, I don't like partying or wasting time with useless activities. Slackers with no bright future annoy me the most and passing on my knowledge always makes me happy.
PART II
Australia
I was in Australia, because the faculty sent me on this mission to do some research on the plant called Ensete Ventricosum or Wild Banana. It's a large, fleshy-stemmed plant with a head of banana-like leaves. The plant grows between 6 and 12 m high. It is a monocotyledon and does not have a true, branched trunk, but an unbranched pseudostem formed by the imbricated (overlapping) bases of petioles (leaf stalks), left behind when old leaves die. The pseudostem broadens towards the base and this gives rise to the species name ventricosum, which means 'with a swelling'. The plant seldom forms suckers from the base. The simple, large leaves with a thick, rose-pink midrib and numerous pinnately parallel nerves extending to the margin, are spirally arranged.
This plant only flowers and bears fruit once and then it dies. The flowers form large, showy bunches or spikes 2 to 3 m in length. The male flowers usually occur at the top and the female or bisexual flowers lower down. The cream-coloured flowers have only one petal, but are surrounded by large, showy, maroon bracts. Flowering usually takes place in early summer (October and November). Insipid, banana-like fruits form after flowering. They have a yellow skin with black spots and contain a row of pea-sized, hard, black seeds. Under normal conditions plants flower when they are about eight years old.
Okay...okay...I'm gonna stop now before I bore you out with all the explanations. Yes...I can be a total freak when talking about nature. Maybe that is why all the guys don't have interest in me. I love the outback of Australia, especially the kangaroos, they're so cute! Back to the plant, Ensete Ventricosum is only supposed to grow in high rainfall forests. That is why, it is so strange that you can find such plants here in Australia in a large number too. The experts have been speculating for a while now whether it's a new species, or it's a form of natural mutation due to the effects of the Global Warming.
Later that night in my hotel suite, when I was about to hit the shower after a long tiring but fun day, my cellphone rings. I pick up the phone and there's this guy with Australian accent tells me that I have to go to LA first flight in the morning, and it should be the Flight 815! I ask for that guy's name for I don't even know anything about him but he won't tell me. I'm afraid that it's just a prank, so when I was about to hang up the phone, suddenly that guy tells all about me. From my name, my age, my family, my profession, my hobbies...everything! He knows everything about me!, and that makes me goosebumps. He tells me that I need to know the truth about my family, that my family is not what it seems to me. And if I want to know about that, I have to be on Flight 815 by tomorrow morning and it SHOULD be on that flight!!!
PART III
Plane Crash
So here I am, sitting next to a handsome stranger that I barely know at the head section of the plane. I'm surprised when he suddenly approaches and asking all about me with great interest. I always thought that no man would find me interesting since I'm a big nature nerd. After talking for a while, I find out that his name is Dr. Derek Montgomery, 30 years old, American, still single, and a successful Brain Surgeon. We laugh for a while when I tease him that he reminds me of the character 'McDreamy' from Grey's Anatomy. He seems to be a decent man, and should I say...my McDreamy! A couple of hours later, I fall asleep next to him.
I was asleep, when I heard screams and shouts from every single corner of the plane. I felt something running down the right side of my cheek. And when I open my eyes, I can't believe the HORROR that I'm seeing!!! Everyone is screaming and shouting, the plane is on fire!!!
I scream out loud in panic, and that's when a great turbulence makes my body hit the plane wall very...very...hard!!!
"Oh God, SAVE US!!!" that was the last thing on my mind before darkness fills my head........
