Catch up with my younger sibling

 Was thinking of my younger sibling lately and thought of calling her to ask how she is.

About two months ago she was complaining of knee pain. Want to find out if she is feeling better.

Just then she called me and will be coming to my area in a short while n asked if I want to meet her at the nearby shopping mall.  I said ok.

Told her our other sibling is with me and we will meet her together.

 We were watching TV and forgot about the time.  She texted me to say she has reached but couldn’t find me. Replied her that we are coming.

She called me while we are on our way to meet her and she was telling me off why I am so late and said next time when we meet she would make me wait! What?? I was stung!

When we reached, she asked me to go order drinks. I was like asking her what she wanted to drink a few times and in the end the other sibling offered to get us the drinks.

After having our coffee, we did some shopping at the mall for about 30 mins and my younger sibling wanted to leave for home.  The other sibling went with me to my house.

One the way she told me that the younger sibling was complaining to her while they waited in the queue to buy drinks.  She told her that I am stingy and never paid for my drinks when I went out with her (younger sibling).  I was stung the 2nd time!

That was like more than a year ago when we went out together.  After she bought the drinks I think I  wanted to pay but she said no need and now more than a year later she complained that I am stingy!  Goodness me!

I felt hurt and upset upon hearing this.  I never expect her to talk about me like that.

Twice I got “free drinks” from her which was like less than $10.  What is $10 between siblings and she has to be so calculative!! 

If I had known this would happen I should have insisted to pay her on the spot however sometimes I am too straightforward for taking others’ “no” as no when they don’t mean it.

Why my sibling is like that? Upset over a small matter!

I really envied my friends’ who has nice and caring siblings.

I felt like crying.  

Come to think of it, I had nice siblings too.  It’s just that when both of them were around I didn’t treasure them until they passed on due to illness.
