The other soldiers noticed and picked it as an offence. They began cursing and shouting at me. I apologised and remained calm while hoping they would round up and leave so that i could stay back in the hostel; but NO, this one particular soldier was so mean that he waited for me to dress up and leave the hostel.
Trying to push my luck, i lazily began to dress up and everything escalated. The soldier told me that he would take me to the guard's room because I was being too stubborn. At this point, I began to panic out of fear to the point i started shivering (i was feigning a cold). The soldiers got afraid and asking me if I was sick. They said I shouldn't have taken my bath yet since the weather was still cold.
Before they knew it, I slumped. one of them suggested carrying me to the clinic but the hot headed one refused and said I may go to the clinic and twist the story. They concluded I'd be taken to their hostel to quench the cold first and then possibly, resolve whatever health issue. When we got to their hostel, Idris was there in regular (civilian) clothing.
He asked them something in Hausa and they responded. Giving them signal, they took me to his quarters. I was laid on his bed and Idris told them he would take it from there. The soldiers left and he (Idris) locked the door behind them. Determined to finish what I started, i kept on shivering even when the other soldiers had left. The weather also helped because it was quite cold (so no one will assume I was actually faking it). When Idris locked the door, my mind flipped, I feared the worst (even if I would have a ruffle with him, I wouldn't want it to be without proper consent).
