Tell your story #8 [Ashamed and Embarrassed]

source

On Friday, the 2nd day of August 2024, I woke up very strong but feeling pains all over my waist. I didn't know what to call it, so I managed to get myself ready for work.

I overlooked the pain because I didn't want it to spoil my day. I quietly prepared my breakfast, took my bath, and dressed for work. When I got to the office, that pain came again, but this time it was sharp. I felt it very sharp in my lower abdomen, but I didn't know what could have caused it. It was obvious to me that my body was not functioning well, but what can I do? Duty calls.

I managed my body to run all activities for the day because no one would do them for me. At lunch time, I went out with my colleagues, and they are solid food, but I wasn't feeling like it, so I took snacks. I was just being conscious of my body system.

Well, I returned to the office after breakfast and continued with work. My closing time was 5 pm, but I took permission to leave by 3 pm because I wasn't feeling well at all; it was becoming so severe. So at 3 pm I left to my house, but wait, just hold on and catch the main gist...

On my way home, the unexpected happened. I usually take two-three drops before I get to my house, but well, from the first bus I entered, I felt that pain again, and this time I couldn't speak to anyone, I managed to breathe, and I couldn't sit comfortably.

Just that moment when the bus stopped me at the bus stop, immediately I climbed down the bus. Guess what happened? My August visitor landed with looking back. It came like a mighty rushing wind.

At this point, what was I supposed to do? I was so confused if I should move or remain in the bus, but I was not the only passenger, so I rushed down immediately but stood still.

I didn't want to move so it wouldn't stain me up, but unfortunately, it did. All I wished was for a miracle to happen, and I see myself at home. The stain was so obvious that two ladies had to draw my attention to it. Oh right now, I feel like disappearing until finally, a tricycle agreed to drop me home.

I was embarrassed and ashamed. Does it mean I didn't know when to expect my visitor? No. This visitor was supposed to come in two days time until it decided to show up earlier, making her look like a little child. Oh, this was so bad. You needed to have seen me on this day.

When I got home, I dropped from the tricycle and waited for it to leave before I continued because, even though I had moved, he would still continue to look at what he had already seen. I had to follow the back gate so no one would see me come in, but I was wrong because someone was already at the back and saw me walk past with my signpost.

Did you know that I didn't leave my room for two days since it was the weekend? I stayed in doors to let people forget the scenario. And the next week, I changed my route to work and back so that people wouldn't recognize me. I have never been this embarrassed or ashamed in my life; this one took me unawares.

My lessons

• Sometimes, take things seriously. If I had taken that pain seriously, I wouldn't have been messed up on my way back.

• Giving a helping hand to people who need it is very important. Although I stood for a long time before I got help that took me home.

• You don't let others feel their mistakes or embarrassment; you can actually help them not to notice it and feel good.

This is my story...
