Pandemic Stories

Every secret eventually makes its way out of the darkness. Theirs wasn't any different. It had been six years and that reality still stung her chest. Ellen had vowed to stop thinking about him, about what happened, but there was something about an impending apocalypse that made you reflect on your choices. The world had gone quiet but her mind felt very loud. Memories of him suddenly haunting her. Feelings she had long put to rest finding a way into her heart. She wouldn't romanticize what they had. It was messy and complicated. In some ways their relationship had to be experienced to be understood. They fought hard, and they loved hard. They challenged each other. But most of all, Patrick made her feel alive. He set her heart on fire. To even her surprise, it was that very fire that was warming her heart in the midst of the worlds turmoil. Caught in the flashbacks of a life that was once her's, Ellen must choose to push forward in the life she had built without him or find her way back to the life they could have had.

Sometimes love doesn't end. It just waits. Krishna and Ishika were once just two school kids sharing silent glances and unspoken feelings. But before their story could even begin, the world changed. The COVID-19 pandemic forced families apart, cities shut down, and life pushed them in different directions. Years passed. Memories faded for everyone else... but not for them. Now fate brings them face to face again - older, different, and carrying the weight of everything they never said. But the question remains... Can a love that started in childhood survive time, distance, and the pain of separation?

Everard D'Cruz, a white-race Portuguese-origin boy born and raised in Goa, grows up loving India deeply despite never being fully accepted as one of its own. His life takes a devastating turn when he is falsely accused of a brutal crime involving the murder of a police officer's family and the rape of a minor. Framed with planted evidence and no support, Everard is declared guilty and sentenced to an inhuman punishment that destroys his identity and future. Just when everything seems over, he is secretly rescued by India's intelligence agency and brought to New Delhi, where National Security Advisor Amar Rastogi offers him a second chance-on one condition. Everard must sacrifice his identity completely and transform into Evelyn D'Cruz to serve a top-secret mission for the nation. With no other choice, he agrees, beginning a life-altering journey of physical and psychological transformation. Mission "Lady Dhurandhar" sends Evelyn to Portugal and then to Wuhan, China, to infiltrate the world of virology and uncover a conspiracy involving a man-made pandemic. Her target is Dr. Adam Costa, a Portuguese scientist unknowingly connected to the project. Using intelligence and honeytrapping, Evelyn gains his trust, but their connection turns real. When her truth is exposed, Adam chooses to stand by her, and together they risk everything to secure critical information about the virus and its antidote. After escaping China, Evelyn hands over the data to Indian authorities and begins a new life with Adam in Portugal. Soon after, the pandemic strikes the world-but India stands prepared because of her sacrifice. From a condemned criminal to a silent savior, Evelyn's journey is one of identity, courage, love, and sacrifice-proving that some heroes remain unknown, yet change the fate of millions forever.

Aisa kaise ho sakta hai..koi kaise kisise bin dekhe bin mile itna pyaar kar sakta hai and that too so intense ki tum yaha tak aa gayi...

Pehle Hii!! se hi ho gaya tha woh jiska naam aapne pyaar rakha hai..(from the first Hii!! From his side I had a thing with him which you call Love...) she explained with a slight frown and tipsy voice blowing up a flick of hair which just appeared to be over her face...

Kyuki hume do do Shivya dikh rahi hai...(I can see two Shivya..)he said pointing two fingers at her direction.. I think you are drunk...Shivya commented smiling innocently.. And you are drunk too...

On 18 September 2025, men began to disappear. Not with war. Not with fire. A cargo ship found drifting in the Gulf of Aden. Male crew: absent. Two female survivors wrapped in silver blankets who couldn't explain what they had seen. Mass hospitalisations across four continents - all men, all with the same collapse that no doctor in the world recognised. A man who got up from a table on a terrace in Madrid to use the bathroom and never came back. His jacket left on the chair. His beer, half-full. Nobody noticed for four minutes. Six women saw it before the rest of the world did. Not because they were heroes. Because they were looking at what nobody else wanted to see. A woman who spent eleven years learning not to need answers - and who that night wakes at 3:33 a.m. with the certainty that something has ended, her fingers moving on their own to the ring finger of her left hand, where there is nothing. A spy who has lived among us for twenty-three years, who that morning receives the signal she has spent two decades waiting for - and the only thing she feels is shame. A journalist in Madrid who reads the first reports on air with a steady voice and silently asks herself why she didn't ask the question she should have asked. A marine off the coast of Somalia who watches three triangular lights hang still above the water and decides not to put it in the official report. An epidemiologist in Panama who arrives at the lab at midnight in her pyjamas because something in the data doesn't add up and when something doesn't add up she doesn't sleep. An intelligence director in Washington who at 8:47 in the morning reads a report three times, says nothing in the briefing, and that night, for the first time in thirty years, wants to call someone and say: I don't know what to do. None of them know the others exist. Behind the virus there is a decision. Behind the decision, there is someone who made it - and they are not human. The Thalyon have been watching Earth since before we
