So it was two years ago. There was a time where my sister lost her phone. She didn’t have a phone for like two to three months and then she relied on my younger brother phone for her university work. and then an idea popped to my head why not giving her a new phone and make her happier. I decided that I will invest my money into into giving my sister a new phone and then when I got the required amount of money I ordered the phone without anyone noticing what I’m actually doing and I decided to surprise her and filmed her while giving her an unknown, a mysterious box and she really didn’t recognize that I was giving her a phone she painted with suspicious expression like saying stop playing with me and it was really funny to me seeing her acting this weird way that she never act after that after she opened the phone box and realized that it is a brand new phone. She literally screamed and we hugged each other. We we’ve been fighting for a while so this gift was like a deal for us to never fight again and I really felt happy. I I put a lot of effort to give her this particular gift and hoping to absorb any positive sensation from her. And thankfully I got that. Our relationship enhanced and grow bigger. We felt a real connection and we started to appreciate each other and never fight again. And it truly touches my heart whenever I think about this matter.

So it was two years ago. There was a time when my sister lost her phone. She didn't have a phone for like two to three months and then she relied on my younger brother's phone for her university work. And then an idea popped into my head: why not give her a new phone and make her happier? I decided that I would invest my money into giving my sister a new phone, and then when I got the required amount of money, I ordered the phone without anyone noticing what I was actually doing. I decided to surprise her and filmed her while giving her an unknown, mysterious box, and she really didn't recognize that I was giving her a phone. She painted with a suspicious expression, like saying, 'Stop playing with me,' and it was really funny to me seeing her acting this weird way that she never acts. After that, after she opened the phone box and realized that it was a brand new phone, she literally screamed and we hugged each other. We had been fighting for a while, so this gift was like a deal for us to never fight again, and I really felt happy. I put a lot of effort into giving her this particular gift, hoping to absorb any positive sensation from her. And thankfully, I got that. Our relationship enhanced and grew bigger. We felt a real connection, and we started to appreciate each other and never fight again. And it truly touches my heart whenever I think about this matter.
