Flight 555

Putu was forced to flee from Bali to Jakarta because he did not agree to an arranged marriage. However, he had to return to Bali because his father was very ill. He used Flight Komo 555. The passengers varied. Putu sat next to a small child who was discussing things that made him anxious. The tense incident began when Putu found a gun in the toilet. Then the Papuan and Sundanese men went into the toilet opposite each other. When they came out the Papuan only wore a koteka. Passengers laugh. It turned out that the Papuans and Sundanese wanted to control the plane and change the destination of the flight to Papua.
