The missing chocolate box!

My sister is on an internship at a place far away from home. Without any friends. It was her B'day on May 1st.(Yes! Labour day!) I moved my lazy ass to buy her a card and a box of chocolates and couriered them. That bitch at booking said it would reach on 1st. It reached on 3rd. I was thanked for the card and sweet words. I wondered the Ferrero Rocher chocolates must be atleast half as sweet as my words! No mention of it? I inquire about the same and realise the box never reached. :( There was just a card in an envelope 3 times its size, heavily taped.

It is not about the chocolate box. Nor about its price. It was meant to be a B'day gift to someone lonely, away from home for the first time in life. I can send another box now but it wouldn't be the same. It could not have been an accident. I asked the booking bitch if the packing was OK and she said she would use extra taping.

I feel very bad. Very very bad.
