There was a time when I wanted a new phone since my old one had been broken for a long time. My parents did not agree. Even when my mom eventually agreed, my dad remained firm in his decision and was not planning to buy me a new phone, even though my old one was broken. He said it was too expensive for my age. I just kept asking and being persistent. Eventually, he decided to give in and bought it for me. After he agreed, I felt like I had won something big. However, I think he agreed mostly because he loves me and was kind of tired of arguing every day with his daughter. So it may not be entirely my win, but mostly a reflection of a father's love.

But I think he agreed mostly because he loves me and he was kind of tired of arguing everyday with his daughter. So it may not be my own win. mostly Father’s love.
