It happened years ago while I was still in the university and even till this moment I still tremble all over when I remember what happened that day or see any similar situation now because I was scared to death, but all thanks to God I was able to see someone that helped me.
During my University days, I usually go to school from home but when it's exam period, I do move to (Tola) my friend's hostel which is closer to the campus. Though Tola and I are in different departments but I love staying with her during examinations so as to be closer to school in which I will have the privilege to attend tutorial classes and also make use of my departmental library for reading. One of Tola's cousin called Kate had also moved in with her at that time, so this makes us three in her self contain apartment during that year's exam.
Our exams started has scheduled but towards the end, one of my computer based exam was cancelled due to system error so I had to stay extra days with Tola. One day Tola had gone early for her exam leaving myself and Kate in the room because Kate also doesn't have exam on that fateful day. We were both gisting in the room that day before I stepped out to buy some stuffs needed for cooking outside the compound. Only God knows what happened in-between the few minutes I stepped out, when I got back to the room I met Kate convulsing.
It was as if my heart froze for some seconds at what I've seen, I was helpless and didn't know what to do. Somehow I manage to regain my senses and I screamed. Almost everyone at that hostel that day had exams in school, so I carried her towards the gate and continue screaming till those that are in their rooms rushed out to know what's happening because I don't know what to do at that moment apart from screaming.
As God will have it, a medical student who was living in that hostel was walking in through the gate when she saw others rushing towards me. The lady sensed that it might be an emergency because of the way I was carrying Kate and screaming for help, so she hurried towards us to know what's going on. She then ordered us to follow her to her room which was towards where I was walking to.
Honestly, till today I didn't know how Kate was stabilized by that medical student because I've already lost my mind. I was crying profusely cause I know I'm in serious trouble if anything should happen to her. What will I tell Tola and others? How will I explain that I don't have a hand in what happened to her, I was just praying in my heart for God mercy to please help me out of my helplessness so as not to be tagged a murderer.
As God will have it, Kate was stabilized and the medical student told one of the guys that rushed out, to help me carry Kate back to our room to leave her to rest. I was so scared to leave her alone in the room, so I sat close to where she was sleeping till she regained her consciousness. Thankfully she became alright and went for medical check up that same day in the evening at the hospital
I don't think I've felt so helpless as that day because I was scared to death. I was just grateful someone was able to help out before the situation turned worse. And I don't even want to experience such situation again in my life.
Thanks for visiting!
