Dear friends,
My sister came to visit me the other day and bought me a hand phone since mine was broken. Earlier I have told her that I will buy another handset real soon but she was really persistent and bought me one instead.
As she was handing the phone to me, it fell from my hand and hit the ground. Whoa! Am I being superstitious here? I receive something brand new from someone and it fell right out of my hand! Is this a bad omen or accidents just happen. As this thoughts were going on in my head, I became uneasy with the whole situation.
I accepted it anyway and she went home not to her house but to my brothers place. She told my brother that I have already bought a phone and I had given her my number while the truth is she is the one who bought the phone and the SIM Card too. From my brothers voice I knew that he was upset with me for not giving him my number personally. I only realized the whole situation when I called my brother the other day. What could be her reason for doing this? Do you think she got something up her sleeve? Is she trying to break me up with my brother? I can't think of a reason.

Something does sound a bit fishy with your sister, most family members would steer clear of buying a new phone for someone unless you were really close and had told them what type of phone you were going to get. As we all like different things with the phones, and what ones likes another may not.
Why wasn't your old sim card able to work in the new phone? Most phones you can just swap the sims over and off you go. I know we have to go thru the motions, of updating information when we buy new phones.
But that really was not nice what your sister did about with your brother, she could have said that you had just gotten a new number and will call/txt you soon or something.
Is your sister a full sister or step sister?

Hi weasel81,
I have misplaced my old sim or must have lost it some where. That is why I had to terminate my line. My sister never bothered to call me or even visit me for the past 20 years that is since she got married and moved to her own place. It was always me who used to call and visit her from now and then. Not even on Christmas.
All of a sudden she walks into my life overflowing with love and compassion. That's why I get this feeling that she is up to something. The worst part is her husband, my bro-in-law, who had accompanied her that day told me that was the cheapest phone they can get their hands on at the moment.I felt insulted and hurt.I have told her many times that I would get my own mobile but she refused to listen. You have understood perfectly well whatever I have expressed above.Thank you for sharing your thoughts and views. I really appreciate them. By the way she is my biological sister.

I don't think it's a bad omen or something. I guess it just slipped, perhaps the phone isn't that grippable, which made it fall from your hands.
As for her trying to break you and your brother apart, huh? He's your brother, not even a typhoon could break you apart.
I think you should just shove the whole thing off, until she is going to do something that would truly be in that department.
Have a great day! Enjoy the free gift! hehehe

Hi laydee,
I guess you are right. Maybe it is a lot better if I just brush-off the whole thing and enjoy my free gift. Thank you for showing me another way to look at it.

I think it was a nice gesture of her buying you the phone but if you say no you'll take care of things she should of respected that. As for your brother I think that it's petty that he should be upset with you when you have the intention of giving him the number but your sister keeps beating you to the punch on things.

It is just an accident my friend, nothing superstition, take it very lightly..
About the issue, you just settle with your sister, hope everything will be ok soon.
Thanks for sharing in details

It is a happy thing that you got a phone and the very next minute sad because of it was broken.
In blood relations, struggles will come naturally, if your brother having real love on you, he won't believe the stuff matters.

Hi rameshchow,
I suppose you got a point there. Like they say, blood is thicker than water. Thank you for your kind response.

It makes me wonder how close your family is when your sister would play games like that...how long had you been out of contact by phone due to your old phone being broken? Had you no money to fix or replace it immediately?
Why would she buy you a phone then brag to your brother you'd only given your new number to her? (and not tell him about her having bought it..)
Why would she not then give him your new number when she visited him? Would this have not come up in conversation when she visited him,or when you called your brother,along the lines of "hi brother,sis gave me a new phone,I thought I'd call you to give you the new number"....didn't you mention the phone being a gift,and why would he be upset if you were calling him?
Was the old phone damaged beyond repair? Wtas the SIM card from it not usable in this new phone so that you could just pick up where you had left off with the number you had?

well its not superstitious..just an accident.
As for you and your sister and brother, well shrug it off you know what is the truth..plus if she has something on her sleeves then just be prepared with the truth plus no one can break a bond of sisters and brothers. you are connected by blood.

I would expect you to give your sister the benefit of doubt and tell your brother exactly what happened to clear the air. Human beings are so blessed that there is always time to clear misunderstandings, if any.

I think your sister just wanted to help you out and not tell your brother that you don't have the money to buy a phone. So she did for you and didn't want anyone to know she gave it to you as a present. So she did not feel the need to tell anyone how great she is because she gave you a phone and simcard.
More interesting about this story I find the way your respond. You don't seem to trust your sister, only think bad about her and see her as the one who breaks relationships. Ask yourself why.

I would only suspect something bad if you had issues with her before but if not, I don't think she has any bad intention. I can't imagine your own sister could plan to hurt you in anyway. For your brother, maybe she noticed your were closer to him than she was, she could have done that to gain attention from him.

before thinking anything there, ask your sister first what is it up to her why she's doing that besides there's no harm in asking. It will also clear the bad thoughts. And as for your brother tell him the truth. The way I see it, I don't think your sister is trying to break your relationship with your brother, he will always be your brother whatever happen and your sister will always be your sister.
