Class-9 Section-B
“Bye, bye sweet Saina. Enjoy your trip and I hope that you will be
successful in winning the contract. I know how much it matters to you as you
have invested all your money on this project.” The Kuala Lumpur International
Airport was filled with thousands of passengers some waiting for the plane some
walking out from the port some enjoying the delicious food of the canteen.
Saina was a 28 years old software engineer. Her parents and her
sisters had come to the airport to bid her a good bye for the project in China.
Suddenly her father said “Stop making my daughter so nervous. We all know that
the contract is her. Well, what I can say is…………. bring lots of electronic
gadgets for me”. “I need that expensive make up kit ““And for me you can bring
that electronic hair gadget which has a straighter, blow dryer and the curler
all together” said her two sisters.
Then came the voice of an
attendant, she said that the boarders of the flight MH370 were requested to
pass all the security checks. Thus it was almost time to board the plane.
Everybody hugged Saina and there she went passing the security check and the
luggage check and finally boarding the bus to the aircraft. “Good evening” by
the beautiful attendants was pleasurable. Smiling at all the unknown faces and
receiving back a smile was soothing. Then she heard “Welcome to Malaysia
Airlines Flight 370 also marketed as China Southern Airlines Flight 748 - is a
scheduled international passenger flight from Kuala Lumpur International
Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport, covering a distance of 4,399
kilometers. Hope you have a happy and safe journey. Thank you.”
The flight had taken off and Saina could feel the rats in her
stomach. There were many children and many first time boarders. Some children
crying and some were jumping with joy on this achievement of theirs. The air
hostesses’ requested all to be seated as it could be dangerous standing up at
this time. MH370 was taking on more speed by every second and there they where
amidst the clouds all around whiteness with everything below getting smaller
and smaller, to the child sitting beside her all this seemed as a fairy tale.
Time passed on, and by then everybody adjusted to the environment.
Children making friendship with each other, elderly women arguing, mother’s
praising their children, men glancing sights at various business magazines
offered. Just then a page flew off on the floor near Saina’s feet. She picked
it up and saw the beautiful picture of a maiden with wings, there was something
unique about the picture. Actually the picture was three dimensional. The
picture was a vivid artistic piece. A man in long with beard looked back and
smiled. Saina went up to him and asked him that whether it was his and he
introduced his family and crew members who all were artists and then hopping
from seat to seat she met 4 people who where experts in calligraphy and they were
returning from a calligraphy exhibition of their work in Kuala Lumpur.
As all good things don’t last much there was something to come
which was biting every soul at that plane. Frequent shakings was little
uncommon but was digestible but power disruption was shocking. Due to the
sudden power cuts the crew members couldn’t contact the passengers and then the
air hostesses had to in inform the passengers that the flight had lost the
navigation. It climbed to its assigned altitude
of 35,000 feet and was travelling at 471 knots when the pilots realized that
all communications and the transponder signal are lost. This was terrifying news
for everyone present there. Some even started shedding tears. Everybody knew
about the danger but nobody was ready to except it or even express it. There
was fear in everybody’s eyes but hope played a greater part.
The child sitting beside Saina almost out of no reasons started
shouting that she has seen a green light in the darkness. Nobody was ready to
accept what she had seen the only thing told by everyone was that the kid has
gone mad because of the darkness and now that she is making up stories. The
green laser light was only justified when everyone saw it and the terrible
noise that the light was generating made everyone stunned. It seemed that the
light was coming from some source; the source from faraway of the flight seemed
to be oval, oval with a reddish pointy top. It seemed somewhat as a satellite
or as a spacecraft or maybe like a UFO. This realization hit hard.
No one in that dark night
knew what it was but it seemed to be mysterious. No one uttered a single word,
their faces were blank, and eyes widely glaring to know what it was and their
mouths open. Saina had, it seemed forgotten everything and was just as the
common mass of people sitting in that 227 international passenger flight
staring and glaring.
Slowly, slowly something seemed to pull the flight or that they
were getting higher, higher in the sky or it seemed as if the spacecraft was
engulfing or encapsulating the plane. Then started the murmuring as an old aged
lady said with her shivering voice,” Is that that only I can see it or everyone
can. Was yesterday my last day on the earth. Can anyone please tell me this?”
Her answer was given was but absolute silence. After being eaten
up by the oval craft the plane entered assort of new world. There was
brightness all around and there were different kinds of lighting devices and
the most horrifying point was that there were some people, some people or they
seemed likes dwarfs or maybe aliens. Their eyes where sparkling blue, they even
looked like robots. They were hundreds of them and all in a proper line.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with water and the children; they were in their
fairy tale. Slowly the door of the flight with the stairs was open and no one
was ready to move from their places as they were so frighten.
One of the aged old ladies almost fainted due to this
incident and the aliens ,they entered
the plane and the small kids started shouting and crying aloud as if they had
seem some ghost. The aliens came and gave everyone in the plane a mask sort of
thing then everyone was told by the leader who had this printed on their
shirt-MAR_1087. He in a very robotic voice instructed everyone through this
actions that this was an oxygen mask and then he pressed a button on his body
and began to speak in English,” I am a Martian, that is ,that I belong to the
planet mars and my name is MAR_1087 and I have lots to talk to you. This oxygen
mask is to keep you alive. And what you are hearing now is a computer generated
English version of my language. Let me start a story. Mars was a beautiful red
planet. We had everything which we wanted, our planet and the red atmosphere have
helped generations of our society to survive and were living a complete life
all this long, but now we know that this planet is not going to exist than 20
more years.” Everyone was listening carefully until an artist from the crew
stood up and began,” So what if your planet won’t exist, what can we do and for
that why are we captured here. We want to go home. Leave us alone.”
“My master was right it seemed you earthmen are very cruel and
selfish. He told me that I should tie you up and keep you locked in the room
but I was wrong that I thought that you people are not that bad and I thought
that you people must have got frightened of me so I especially for you’ll meet
the best scientist on this planet and told him to make the oxygen pumps for you
because on mars we breathe by the means of nitrogen. Well if our planet mars is
depleting then the reason is earth” the voice of “what” came out from everyone
Earthman’s mouth. Then he started again “yes, earth has not even more than 15
years as the earthman are not even bothered to save their planet. You people pollute
and all the bad gases come to the neighboring planets, you are not only ruining
your atmosphere but also badly affecting the solar system, and because of your
ozone holes, sun rays have changed their course and thus we suffer. Now we have
decided to capture some earthmen and keep them here and connect our satellites
to earth and tell them to sign a bond stating that they will have to reduce the
pollution to save Mars and even their own planet from pollution and if they are
not ready to listen to us then we will tell them that we will leave the 227 of
you open in the space without an oxygen mask which will ultimately end in your
deaths and then we shall slowly start sending burning masses to earth which
will finally end all existence on earth forever. We don’t want to do this but
we are forced to do this and we request each one of you to move from place to
place to see our beautiful planet mars and as you are our guests so we will
take the guaranty of your food and shelter. But do comply with our orders and
dare not make any mistake you would later regret.”
There was no one on the flight who was not touched by his words.
One by one everyone got down from the plane and that night the only humans on
mars moved from one place to the other seeing the beautiful planet and their
eyes were sparkled to see the Martians work so hard. On almost every road there
were signs and posters of conserving the planet. After that night’s trip
everyone was very tired and the Martians gave them place to spend the little
night which was left. The other day when everyone woke up the found themselves
tied to a chair and then came the leader MAR_1087 came and informed that their
satellites are now connected to the earth and then 1087 began “I request all of
you to tell them to stop pollution and tell them the story of our planet which
I told you and even tell them what consequences the earthmen will have to face
if they step back to do this. “I am always ready to do this. “said the wrinkled
old lady,” I know how important it is to save ones planet and I’ll always be
with you people and don’t you worry things will change for the good.” After
listening to her, the ones who were not ready were also ready and then the
satellites were connected and there went the message to the earth.
Situations on the earth at that time were very critical as all the
relatives and the family members of the passengers had gathered the head office
of the MAS (Malaysia Airlines) and started blaming them and everybody was at
daily bases attending the holy church to offer masses for the peace of the
souls of the people who now they thought were dead. But the message send by the
mars satellites spread like wild fire and it had a great impact on the government.
All country heads were contacted, meeting via satellite was conducted and
conclusion was drawn that they had no choice but comply to their demands, and
as it, it was for the good of our planet, of our solar system. Many laws on the
protection of the planet were made, treaties were signed, pollution was promised
to be reversed and all necessary steps were taken. Then after a long time a
message was received by the mars satellite which said that earth is ready to
stop the pollution and make the earth and even the surrounding planets a better
and a safer place to live in. all the treaties were sent and an video
conversation of the Mars leader and the Malaysian President sorted out things.
Mars promised to give assistance to earth in any possible way to help the
environment and make the galaxy a brighter place to live in!
Finally the earthmen were sent through a UFO and were landed in
their plane over the Indian Ocean. They were safely taken to shore and with all
lives saved, and good done to Mother Nature the incident came to an end – for a
better beginning of course!
a good read!
