My brother’s announcement surprised me. Could he really be so kind? I looked at him in total disbelief. He actually told me that he was going to buy me a new laptop. What more could I ask for? Immediately I pictured myself with my laptop.
“Are you sure? When are you going to get the money?” I asked, rather shocked at his unexpected generosity. I found it difficult to believe. “Where did you get the money?” I enquired again, as I could not imagine him saving saved enough to buy the laptop.
“Do you really want to know?” he asked, as if I should not have bothered with such trivial matters. “Yes.” I answered. “Well I am using the money I got as bonus. Does that satisfy your curiosity?”
“ Haaa ?You are buying me a bike with your bonus? Why on earth are you doing that?” I think he was quite hurt by my question. The expression on his face indicated that.
“Why? What do you mean why? I’m getting you a laptop because you are my sister. Isn’t that a good reason? And tell me, how many kid sister have I got?” came his response.
This may sound overly sentimental, but trust me, his words almost brought tears to my eyes. So this guy really had a soft spot for me. I guess I was not aware of that part of him.
Isn’t it wonderful to have elder brothers? Especially if they are the type generous enough to get you your dream laptop!
