I did something wicked and God punished me. I was supposed to help that female but I didn't. God punished me and I learnt my lesson.
In my 300 level, in the university, along our school forest reserve, a desperate young woman ran towards me and suddenly stopped before me. From the expression on her face I knew she was going through agony and trauma! Her hot imploring eyes and stare were obvious - she was suffering and also sweating.
She greeted me and quickly said:
"Please, I have a strong urge to use the toilet. Can you help me? I'm desperate?."
I looked at her questioningly, indifference radiating from my countenance. I saw her gesture. She was pointing towards the forest.
"Please, Can I get in the forest and do that?" she said.
"NO!" I said "You don't do that there. It's the university property."
From her behaviour I knew she was just a visitor to the school. A student would just walk straight to the hostels for that purpose or even use the forest if that is necessary (considering how desperate he or she is), without my consent. But, she wasn't a student. She was an absolute stranger.
"You may use the hostel toilets, if you wish to."
That was an indifferent remark from me. I didn't even show her the direction to the female hostels. Her condition was a critical one that the only remedy would be asking her to do it in the forest. It's not an abomination. Besides, the hostel is about 5 minutes journey from the place we met. Even some who were a meter away from a toilet could not make it but messed up right in front of the toilet. So how would I expect this lady to survive 5 minutes turmoil and tempest when she was already before an alternative.
Morally speaking, it is much easier for a male to publicly say, and with little or no discomfort or shyness: "I'm pressed! I need to use the toilet," than for a female to do the same. Yet a desperate woman boldy said this before me, and in a university environment for that matter.
I ignored that female and walked away. I did a wicked thing. The truth is, I was in a position to help her - but I chose not to help her. Besides I was not in a haste, I think.
God frowned at me and shook His head negatively. He decided to punish me. The following day, I came to school. Suddenly, nature called.
I don't remember what I took in the morning. But, I think I took a horrible combination of foods in the morning.
The urge and pain in my stomach was unbearable. I left the class and started walking down outside. I followed the forestry route. I couldn't enter into the forest. That would make me a hypocrite. Besides other students were around the area, I think,...or some students were carrying out some experiments or researches in the place.
I didn't use the school toilet. What students do there irritate me. My only focus was getting to my sister's place, about 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes trek. Imagine that.
I was moving like a wounded lion. I was leaping. I managed to reach the main gate and hit the road. I was perspiring. Perspiration streamed down my body. It was a cold morning, yet I was sweating. I was dying - God was punishing me. I entered a cab. The driver wouldn't move. He was waiting for other passengers to enter. It was like taking forever to accomplish that. A second was like an age to me. A moment wasted was like a forever wasted. I was the only person sweating in the vehicle. I was sweating profusely. I was completely unstable, I was quaking, my whole body was quaking like a leaf hanging down the branch of a tree.
The vehicle finally moved. It finally stopped before the main gate leading to my sister's place. Now another big problem: the conductor wouldn't give me my change. He was looking for some change. This had added to the mountain of delay I was suffering. He finally found some change and gave.
I took off immediately. I do not know how I managed to cross the road. lol
But I finally crossed the road and entered into the compound. I completely ignored both man and animals coming my way, and was desperately heading towards my inevitable destination, a drive for divine redeemption:toofunny.
I was lucky someone was leaving the toilet. I hurled myself towards the door and in a split second landed inside the room. Explosions! I have never seen such a relief before! Wow! Whew!
I remembered that girl. I then knew what she went through. I am relieved today - because I suffered too and I feel less guilty not helping her
