My sister is a year older than me, yet she trusts me blindly. Despite our endless quarrels, which often make our mother yell at us, our bond remains unshaken. We argue loudly but never break the deep faith she has in me.

I realized this trust early on in childhood. Once, she fought with a boy we used to play with. She ran home and told me everything. Without hesitation, I stormed to the playground, hit the boy’s foot with a stone, and warned him never to fight with her again. Another time, she asked me to cut her nails. Without a nail cutter, I used a blade. She agreed, but I accidentally cut her, making her bleed. I still regret it, but it showed how deeply she trusted me, even in situations where she should have been cautious.

As we grew, her trust only strengthened. While watching makeup reels, she once declared, “You will do my wedding makeup. I trust nobody else.” For every event, big or small, I am the one who gets her ready. I pick her outfits, style her hair, and pack her bag. I even choose her shoes, and she never questions my choices. I often wonder how someone can have such blind faith, but she never doubts me.

One day, I video-called her from the market to pick a phone cover for her. She simply said, “Buy whichever you like. I trust your choice.” Whether it’s clothes, accessories, or food, she lets me decide, knowing she will love it. If I cook something, she craves more. If I select a dress, she wears it with confidence. She even trusts me with her academic and career choices, asking for my opinion before making any major decision.

Beyond these choices, what matters most is how she shares everything with me. She confides in me, knowing I won’t judge or disclose her secrets. No matter what she goes through, I am always her first point of contact. I know things about her that even our parents don’t, and she knows she can rely on me in every situation.

Our bond is special, not just because she trusts me, but because of who she is—pure, religious, lovely, and honest. Her unwavering faith in me makes me feel responsible for her happiness. She is my biggest responsibility, my greatest blessing, and a reminder that true trust strengthens bonds beyond anything else in the world. I would never take her faith for granted, and I cherish every moment of being the one she looks up to.
