Two days ago, I attended a friend's wedding which took place in another Local Government but the same state, and I went with a few mutual friends, the journey was a two-hour journey, although it was too long a time for me because I get tired sitting still for too long but it was worth the journey and I can boldly tell anyone about that journey is one of my best travel experience I have had so far.
It was a beautiful moment, we talked and gisted about everything and anything and had a lot of fun during that moment, we decided to ask each other about our journey experience. While some experiences were funny, others were hilarious. So, I decided to share one of my travel encounters with them.
The first time I decided to travel down to my hometown alone, to see my grandparents since I was in another state and it was a long-distance journey, a day journey actually, I was asked not to eat much or take any water until I got halfway through my journey. Well, I boarded the bus and we left halfway through our journey, our driver decided to give us a break and allow us to eat, buy food or snacks, urinate, and do whatever we needed to do to ease ourselves and prepare us for the remaining journey.
Well, I was so famished and knew that taking snacks and drinks would not be enough for us, so I decided to go for something that would sustain me throughout the journey until we got to our destination. I headed for the nearest restaurant and ordered soup and starch. I devoured the food like the hungry lion that I was, got water, paid for the food, and left the place to go meet the rest of the travelers.
The journey started and off we went, but unfortunately, the universe had another thing in store for me that I wasn't aware of, my stomach started rumbling and giving me the shaking of my life, and I was sweating even though I was seated by the window. When I could not hold it any longer, I had to inform my seat partner of the hell I was going through.
Although she started laughing when she saw the seriousness, pain, and how I was holding myself from messing up my body and messing up the atmosphere on the bus, she decided to help me beg the driver to stop the car so that I could relieve myself and maybe get something for my stomach along the road.

The driver heard her plea and I ran out of the bus with speed into the bush, but when I got there and found a suitable place to relieve myself, I realized that I was in a jumpsuit, which meant I would have to take off all my clothing to be able to get down to business.
I was scared because I was the only one inside the bush, but I had to brace up myself and do what needed to be done or else I would poo in my cloth, and I knew that wasn't the best idea because the bus will reck of my feces and I would be ashamed of myself throughout the journey.
Well, I did what I needed to do and got back to the bus and immediately they saw me approaching, they all started laughing, which I did too because it was kinda funny and my sit partner had gotten medicine for me to help me, and the rest of the journey continued smoothly.
Ever since that incident, I made a mental note never to buy food whenever I was traveling or eating any solid food. And even if I intend to eat on my journey, I would prefer to prepare my food by myself, pack it along with me, or stick to snacks, and soft drinks till I get to my destination because I wouldn't want the first time incident that happened to me to repeat itself.
I also made a mental note to dress in a most simple, casual, and free whenever I am traveling, just in case situations arise, I do not have a hard task getting through because I would have almost pooed on my body because I was wearing jumpsuits and just so that doesn't happen, I had to remove all my clothing to be able to freely defecate.
When I was done telling them about my first time traveling experience, they were laughing so hard because that event was indeed eventful and hilarious, they said it was the universe paying me for trying to act like a rich kid because I chose to eat food while others bought snacks. They said I should have bought snacks like everyone else but instead, I decided to buy food and ended up having a running stomach as a result of the food, so it was a waste of money after all.
Thank you for reading my #novemberinleo prompt on Day 2.
