I closed my eyes, trying to sleep. But a sudden turbulence came.
I got nervous. Every time we boarded a plane, there was only one turbulence and it was only for a moment. But this time, it's different. It was like the pilot who's maneuvering the plane is losing control in the system.
"M-Mom, what's happening?" I asked tensely as the lights suddenly changed. I can't stop being nervous.
"Keep calm, hija. Turb--"
Her words were cut by a sudden explosion from the back part of the aircraft. The flight of the plane became more and more unsettled. I blinked twice because of the impact. Even though I had a headache, I heard the pilot announce that he had to make an emergency landing because the plane might crash.
I was shocked. Especially when seeing the surroundings filled with smoke. I can't help but cry. Mommy was comforting me even though she herself could barely breathe. The plane's movement is unsteady, so we cling tightly to the seats.
