It's likely that during your childhood, you might have encountered instances of bullying, whether as the victim or perhaps even as the aggressor. However, as adults, it's expected that such experiences are left in the past as we move forward in life. Nevertheless, one local woman took an extreme approach to confronting her past bully.
Alia, a teacher in Johor, recounted her ordeal of being relentlessly bullied by a classmate named Farid during their university days. Each encounter with Farid would involve him hurling insults and derogatory remarks at Alia in front of others, leaving her in tears whenever she returned to her room. His disparaging comments about her appearance and character were particularly hurtful, causing Alia to endure five semesters of torment.
Despite her patience in remaining silent, Alia was further disheartened by her other classmates' indifference and failure to support her. Each time they crossed paths, Alia harboured resentment towards Farid, even resorting to praying for his demise in a car accident. She admitted seeking solace in black magic, casting a spell on Farid, whom she still despises deeply to this day.
Alia claimed that her revenge was fulfilled when she found happiness in marriage and her husband adored her for who she is. However, she lamented that the haunting effects of her actions continued to disturb her, manifesting as nightly disturbances. Though she remains unaware of Farid's current condition, Alia still harbours a deep-seated desire for his demise, believing that forgiveness is out of the question.
Acknowledging the sinful nature of her actions, Alia expressed her inability to forgive Farid for the torment he inflicted upon her. She concluded her confession by urging others to pray for her continued happiness and for her husband to remain unaware of her dark past, hoping for a peaceful life ahead.
Do you believe her actions were excessive, or do you find them justifiable?
