🌿 Story Title: The Echo That Stayed

---

> "They left a country behind. But the country never left them."

Years ago, a single night shattered the most celebrated family in India.

Virat Kohli - once the nation's cricketing heartbeat - vanished from the public eye. Anushka Sharma - a voice that once echoed across screens - chose silence. And their daughter, Vamika, barely six, was taken far away from the only world she knew.

As secrets unravel and pain resurfaces, The Echo That Stayed is a hauntingly intimate tale of a family trying to protect what they love most - even if it means hiding it from the world.

🕯️ And some wounds don't bleed - they echo.
