I came home from school and went to search for my phone. I realized I left it at home during my math class. I really need to organize my stuff, I mentally grumbled. As I walked into my room, I saw Tanwir staring at my phone screen with a hard expression.

“Tanwir, what the hell are you doing?” I glared. Why doesn’t he let me touch his stuff but he touches mine? That’s completely unfair!

His eyes snapped up to meet mine. The hard expression was replaced with a scowl. “I was going to play Summoners War on your account since you’re such a lower level compared to me, but instead I found certain messages that I shouldn’t have found,” he calmly stated.

Anger flared inside me. He looked through my stuff. “Why are you looking through my stuff? Do you not respect privacy anymore because the last time I checked, you never let me look through your stuff,” I hissed in an annoyed tone even though my hands were shaking. He couldn’t have seen them.

“Relax, it was in your notifications, but now I need to teach some sense in you,” he growled before glaring in my direction. “What’s the matter with you, Amira? Why do I see this message from a boy named Damon?”

My jaw dropped. I’m done for. “What message?” I asked carefully like I was talking to an angry beast.

“Allow me to read it. ‘I wish you would give me a chance especially since we’re both into each other.’ Amira, what is this? Don’t give me crap about a joke or something. Tell me the truth,” he demanded.

Shame overwhelmed me. I knew I couldn’t keep it a secret for long. “It’s nothing.”

He humorlessly laughed. “Oh, that’s funny. It’s nothing you say, huh? Because to me it looks like something.”

“Tanwir—”

“No! Don’t ‘Tanwir’ me. Amira, you know Muslims aren’t supposed to date. You’re not supposed to have relationships like this with the opposite gender. What don’t you understand?” he reproached, eyes reprimanding me into silence as excuses melted on my tongue.

By now I was enraged. I couldn’t blame him for judging me, but it still hurt to hear it aloud. “Stop judging without knowing me! You’re one to talk considering you do things secretly without Mum and Baba knowing. I do understand and I know what I’m doing. I have the situation under control, unlike you.”

As soon as I said it, I regretted it.

Something in Tanwir’s eyes changed. The fierce flare in his eyes was replaced by an affectionate gaze. Shame streamed through my blood, painfully squeezing my heart as I watched my brother crumble before me, vulnerability was shining through his eyes.

“When you lose self-control in one aspect of life, you lose it in another. Don’t be one of those girls, Amira. Don’t stray away from the right path where you are in,” he whispered softly.

I was shocked. This wasn’t the tone I normally heard from him. I must have hit a soft spot in his heart, and the words he spoke about self-control scared me.
