Book Description:

Jochonorup is a strikingly handsome and brilliant young man, who has battled poverty since his student days. His childhood, however, was marred by a tragic accident—his elder sister (Chhordi), who had one blind eye, died in a road accident while trying to rescue their beloved pet cat, whom Jochonorup had tried to blind out of jealousy. This incident not only shattered their family but also left their mother paralyzed due to a stroke.

Growing up without a maternal figure, Jochonorup was raised under the care of his two elder sisters. His sole focus was on achieving success, and even in adolescence, he remained disinterested in romantic relationships. But everything changed when he met Komolini, the daughter of a neighboring tenant. With just one glance, Jochonorup found himself madly in love.

Despite his own emotions, he became an unwavering pillar of support for his elder sister’s love affair while secretly tutoring Komolini, keeping his own love hidden. But what happens when self-sacrificing love, unspoken emotions, and the weight of past guilt collide?
