Plane Ride

We were checking in for a plane ride. The plane that we are riding is a cargo plane where the tail-end is where the cargoes are being loaded, just like a military style plane.
It may be a cargo plane, but the inside is just like an ordinary passenger plane with carpeted seats and all. The only difference is that when you look at the back, instead of the lavatory, the baggages and cargoes are stacked there.

We are now strapped in and the plane is taxiing forward. While the plane is moving, Rheena, Ella and Hazel stood up and went to the baggages to get their kikay kits. They were moving bags and digging deeper and deeper to get their things. The stewardess called out for them and cried for them to sit down or we will be in trouble. No sooner than that, the cargo door opened and the bags flew out and dropped to the ground. We are still taxiing and we can see the bags open up as they hit the ground. The 'runway' turned to jungle like place where trees are on both side of the road.

After all the bags dropped, we stopped and I think there was an engine trouble. Then all of a sudden 3 ex-colleagues from my first IT job rushed out of the plane. I can remember their faces but not their names. They are, what we called, the 'utusan' and 'sip-sip' boys of the company. They rushed out from the plane leaving from the cargo door shouting 'We're free! We're free!'.
