Slander! Calumny! Libel!

Slander! Calumny! Libel!

I cannot tolerate with her behaviour anymore! She keeps calumniate me of all the malfunctioning of the computer. “I know who you are, you are my sister of course!” I thought. “But why you have to keep telling liars and slender me!” I wondered. Since young, I tolerate you, I obey you, I did not lie to you, I respect you as my elder sister, I did what I’ve promised to do for you, I’ve tried my best to keep this relationship tight! I do not even speak for a word even though you yelled at me, you shouted at me, you scolded me, you beat me and even you abused me. I’ve tried all my best to fulfill your wish but, you keep complaining and criticizing about everything that you dislike which is the things I like.
One day, in order to install her CD’s burner she deleted all my documents and files inside the computer without asking for my permission. “Yes, you are my elder sister but you do not have the rights to delete all my files!” I thought. Can you imagine one day when all the things you’ve saved into the computer disappeared in sudden. Do you know how hurt I felt? I heart is broken. From that day, I’ll remember this stupid mistake and I told myself that I’ll never repeat the same mistake, I’ll always save all my documents and files inside my floppy disc. I regretted that before this I’ve never saved even a single piece of document inside a floppy disc. This time, I forgave her although I knew it was her fault.
“How dare she! She deleted almost all of my documents” “Oh, no…I’ve to redo my presentation.” my eldest sister sighed. Suddenly, “Hey, luckily my documents are still here. Thanks God, you’ve saved my life!” she relieved. At last she found her documents inside the D drive. However, I could not find mine when I approached her to search for my documents. “Oh, no! Damn it!” I shouted. All my documents were not there. “What the hell was going on?” asked mother as she passed by the living room. Then, we told her about what’s going on and all the things that my second elder sister did to us. Unfortunately, mother did not care about it because she did not know anything about our computer.
That night, as soon as my father came back from his office, my second elder sister slandered me. “Every time she touched the computer, the computer will surely become malfunction,” she complained. “It’s not my fault, who ask her to install the CD’s burner?” “ If she does not know how to build in and install it accordingly, she should have called for computer’s experts to do so!” I exclaimed. I kept quiet as father promised that he’d solve the problem.
A few days later, the computer started its new life as it function as usual because it has been repaired. Unwillingly, these luxurious moments end for two to three months only. Why? My nightmare came back and I’ve being libeled by the same person again. I cannot tolerate anymore! I’ve just spoke a sentence, “I promised that I’ll pay the cost of all the reparations of the computer.” She did not satisfy and complained continuously.
The scene: Yesterday, immediately after I came back from tuition my younger and the only brother asked me to order pizzas. “Is there anyone other than that could order the pizzas?” I yelled at him in high-pitch. I did that because I’m not in good mood as I’ve just lost in a miniature debate in tuition center. I get angry when he kept asking me to order the pizzas. I’ve being rude to him, I felt sorry for that. However, I forced myself to order it for him, as no one was willing to help him and yet, it was actually my father who asked me to order. Just after I ordered the pizzas and put down the receiver, my father came across me and he said that he wanted the large pizza and asked me whether I’ve ordered the right ones. “Oh, no…” I whispered. But, it was not my fault because brother told me that father wanted the regular pizzas before I order it. I was so desperate as I need to call and change the order. I felt so sorry of disturbing the Domino’s operator.
Then I started to turn on the computer to print out some worksheets that I’ve done earlier. But then the computer kept restarting and malfunctioning …I did not know what was going on. Actually, it had had happened the day before yesterday when I thought I wanted to print out my worksheets as the computer was on and I did not know who’d turned it on. I thought the computer would be okay after the day before yesterday. Nobody knows whose fault. My second elder sister asked me to turn off the computer when I was enjoying my favourite TVB’s drama on the television. Do you know how she asked me? She did not asked politely, she shouted at me! I have to switch off the computer, as it was my responsibility to do so as I’m the one who switched it on. But, I did not know how switch off the computer as it kept restarting continuously. “I couldn’t turn off the computer as it kept restarting.” I told her politely.
Subsequently, she complained to mother and told mother that it was me who spoiled the computer. I defend, “I’m not the one who spoilt it, and I not hope to spoilt the computer!” “And how did I know that the computer was already spoilt the day before?” I yelled and tears rolled down from my eyes at the same time. My mother did not bothered to hear my words; she just listened to what my second elder sister told her. Mother did not protest even one word. I felt so insecure as I’m the one who being slender. My mother kept nagging at me. “You should not touch the computer and supposed to finish your own work!” she scolded me as I was trying hard to turn off the computer. I did not know how to turn it off. Ironically, my second elder sister kept ordered me to do so even though she knew how to turn it off. Then, she approached to the computer turned off the computer angrily. I wondered, “Why didn’t she turn off the computer as she knew how to do so as for me it was so complicated.”
I locked myself inside my bedroom and cried. I was so frustrated and depressed as my second elder sister slander and lied to me. I recalled and I think it was actually her fault because since her friends installed the CD’s burner, the computer started to malfunction. I thought, “How unfortunate am I that I’ve born to this family as the youngest daughter of my parents and have to face all these slanders”. I felt like wanted to kill myself or just run away from my home. “But, I can’t because I knew it was too late and it’s no use crying over a spilt milk,” I thought. Then, it’s when I decided to write this story out, as it has become my burden for years. On the other hand, I was still filled with anger. I wanted to shout as loud as I could, but I could not because it was already late at night. I might attract others attention if I do so. “Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!” I shouted inside my wardrobe. Then, I stepped out of my bedroom to fill my bottle with water. Lastly, I decided to sleep as I had headache and I was tired and also not in the mood to do my homework. Still filled with anger!
