Someone added me on her YM list yesterday. At first I didn't know who she was until she addressed me as "Kak Sharina". Hell, only STfian call me by my full name [and my mom when she's angry]. And since she addressed me as kak, she must be younger than me.You see that's what I like about my school, we were trained to respect elder people [haha!].She turned up to be my junior, one of the junior that I still can remember until now.Not only me.I bet majority of my batch still remember her.
It was 1997, I was the senior, the king of the school. One of my friends was telling us that she was furious with some juniors, to be precise 3 of them for some reason. Back then if we feel 'tak puas' hati with junior we will call them up and give them our piece of mind. We called it 'lecture'. According to my friend they were rude, making up and spreading rumors about my friends and for some other reason that I can't recall .Hohoh.U don't know how much pleasure we got from the lecturing session back then. Best giller marah-marah and buat orang nangis ok. It's sort of a tradition. I was a junior once and I too went through it so given that I was a senior that time I guess we are just succeeding what's being left by our seniors. I know in boys school those girls were probably beaten up to death but hey, we are girls and we are more subtle and still full of mercy. To cut the story short that night after 11.15 which is the time for light off, me and my dormate went to those girls dorm where my other 3 friends already there since it's their dorm. At the outset it was only like 5 of us until almost of the fivers joined, the sort who was dread by juniors. Hehehe.I bet they were up for some entertainment themselves. We lined up those three girls in a straight line and demanded them to line up straight as if they were about to sing the national anthem and everybody began questioning. The mellifluous session then heated up to swearing and uproaring session especially after more and more fivers approached. I bet everybody heard we how we harassed those girls coz I swear my throat hurt after that but nobody did anything and I wonder why. To make the situation more interesting we smacked their faces, flooded them with water[I hope it's clean water] and smacked their head with whatever we can reach namely magazines, gayung and er..tak ingat.The session went until 4 a.m where the dorm was totally packed with us, torturing those girls. Eventually, they cried and we took pictures of them weeping, with smiling and proud faces of us as the background. When I think of it now, I can't believe how mean I was but hey, that's a part of living in a boarding school.
The story did not end there, turn out to be one of the girls somehow got her hand on the picture and passed to one of our teacher. Not sure who she was but I bet she was the 'garang' one. Not only that, she reported to her father who is 'somebody' and not to mention garang too. Even though almost all fivers were there the night that thing happened only few names were called up including me, fadzi and nicky.Tapi aku tak puas hati nikkit tak kene, dahla sah-sah muka penyangak skolah tapi sebab dia tukang ambik gamba she got away with it.Tak adil!!Anyway, we had to go through some sort-of-eyes to eyes session with board of discipline, those 3 girls and the father.After some bla..bla..bla.. session, the father insisted us all to be expelled. Since we were expected to sit for SPM we did not get expelled. Only two girls were suspended for some period and the rest had to do some 'kerja berat'.Two of us there were prefects and after that day they were normal people like me.
Oh yeah, we did had vengeance towards those girls back then but we did nothing after that until we left that school, I guess isolation from their own friends was enough. From what I heard after that, those girls blossomed to be wonderful people after that. Before that incident, they were not so likeable by their friends but later, things changed. One of them develop into a school debater and scored full A's during SPM and now pursuing her degree in UK, one studying in OZ and the one who I've been talking to yesterday is currently studying here.
What surprised me was two of them added me in their friendster list and the girl I chatted with yesterday said something that make me serba salah for the first time.
"Kak Sharina sorry kalau kite penah buat korang susah dulu.Memang kitorang agak teruk dulu.Thanks anyway"
She said sorry and thank you..after what we did to her.After making her life a living hell in school .Kalaulah aku yang kene macam tu..hehehe..tak taulah camne.
That show how powerful forgiveness can be.It can touch a heart even a stone heart like me. Hum.. Maybe I can start forgiving that particular person now. Should I?
Nahhhhhh!!!
