YOU AND ME—OUR TIMELESS LOVESTORY
Prologue
Kolkata, a city that never sleeps, where the past and present walk hand in hand, where power and justice often blur into shades of gray. It is here that fate entwines the lives of two individuals who could not be more different-yet are destined to collide.
Ritwick Chaterjee, at thirty-two, has carved a name for himself in the force. As the Deputy Commissioner of the Central Division, he is a man who commands respect and fear in equal measure. Ruthless in his pursuit of justice, unwavering in his morals, and relentlessly in his battles, he walks the fine line between duty and danger without hesitation. To criminals, he is a nightmare; to his department, he is a legend.
Then there is Shrirupa Mukherjee-young, vibrant, and full of life. At twenty-two, she has just completed her master's degree, standing at the crossroads of her future. She dreams of independence, of carving her own path, yet she is bound by the weight of expectations. The dutiful daughter of an influential family, she is caught between proving her worth and fulfilling the responsibilities thrust upon her. If the world sees her as delicate, they fail to notice the quiet storm brewing within.
Two souls-one forged in the fires of duty, the other flowing like a river seeking its course. He, a man hardened by experience; she, a woman untouched by the world's cruelty. When their worlds collide, it is neither gentle nor expected.
For some, destiny is a whisper. For them, it arrives like a thunderstorm.
Neither of them knows it yet, but their story is about to begin. And once it does, there will be no turning back.
