Congratulations on your repentance. We do not advise ending your relationship with your sister, as long as thinking about the non-mahram is merely an occasional occurrence. Strive to divert your mind from him, and fill your time with beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds or permissible recreation. Seek a righteous husband and righteous sisters who can help you remain steadfast. If you fear relapsing into a relationship with the non-mahram due to your connection with his aunt, then cease meeting her and seek help from other sisters.
