Yes I just walked away, unnoticed. The beautiful thing about my gown was that it was a wrap-around, so it was a simple thing to wear it back, and not be noticeably wet. I walked quickly to the club pool and entered. Five minutes later I was in the pool with two other people, showing mild interest as sirens came towards our end of campus.
The fact that some people almost drowned, and I was able to save them had not sank into my skull yet. Iwas still worried about the four courses from physics that i might have to register for next week. I left the pool by 6.30pm. I was refreshed, and I had reached my "topit" level.
Definition of topit - the level where I let go and let God top it with a miracle.
When I got back to the hall, there was so much noise about the incident, I began to wonder if it was the same one. But the focus was not what I expected.
Some were exclaiming how God had saved Nigeria from total shame - they claimed that the boys were the sons of the internationally famous Bishop T. D. who had come to the country for a much popularized concert.
Others even said the person might not have been human (I chuckled at that one), because of the "inhuman strength" the person must have had to save both boys.
Some were disgusted at what they heard that the swimmer had done - the person that saved the boys from drowning (on some accounts it was a female, on others it was too athletic to be a female so it was a male), just dressed up and walked away. just walked away from the whole scene.
I was surprised at that one. I didn't expect the people to be angry and disgusted at that. It was the most logical thing to do for me at the time. What would I have been waiting for?
