#Story_Stars :

It's a winter morning...

A young man of early thirty's entered into a huge palace with a glowing face..he is just awesome in his features & a true divine creature..while seeing him you can think what is he doing in this ancient n often damaged palace but this palace now also shined in it's glorious history and it's beauty..but it looks like his face is determind about something..that he has to achieve anyhow..it's looks like by his features that he has taken a task that has to be done first..no if or but..he has to do it..he is in dark blue colour shirt with black jeans n black leather jackets..he is stunning to see..yeah he is!!..his crooky smile is telling he is happy to be here..and he shouted in happiness by saying..

YoungMan : Yeahhh..i have done it..see i am here now..i can't believe..i am here..(happy looking at the huge palace which is the king in it's own beauty)..

Suddenly the young man heard a voice of a person...

Voice : Who is this ??

So, the young man turns his gaze at the direction of that voice..he found him..the old man of fifty's..he come forward to the youngman & gives him a smile...

OldMan : Are you the boy who was supposed to be come here??(normally)..

YoungMan : Yeah..i am the one..by the way..i am Sanskar Maheshwari..I am a writer..I research about historical places & write about the real ancient story about those places..it's like project for me..

OldMan : I see..the famous writer of todays generation..good good..!! God bless you that you are trying to explore about our ancient histories among all the people..proud of u dear..I heard about u alott..& I am Shekhar Gadodia..The caretaker of this palace from generation to generation we are taking care of this palace though it's already in the way of damage..(said fanitly)..

Sanskar : Ahhh..that's nice to know about you..i wanna explore the village first to know about this palace from people and then will come back again to palace...so can you please show me my room in palace so that i can keep my stuffs n bags there before going out...

Shekhar : Okay..i will show you..& i will keep ur dinner ready cause it will take time explore the whole village..

Sanskar smiles..

Sanskar : Thats pretty cool i think..okay let's go..(happy)..

Shekhar nods & they entered the palace...It's well decorated palace..It's showing it's beauty gracefully...no doubt..any writer can fall in love with it's beauty..so Sanskar looks around & saw everything about palace..& then Shekhar shows him his room..it's pretty luxurious room according to ancient time..yup it is now also!!..so, Sanskar kept his things..then said bye to Shekhar & left for exploring the village..while exploring village..
after talking with people about this palace history he felt surprised cause he got to know people think that this palace is not good at all..cause they think here some unexpected things happened..for that people don't go there now..after getting so many informations...he record all the thing in his phone recorder..then at evening 7:00 pm left for the palace..the palace location in more inside of this village so it took quite much time reach palace..he reached there at 10:00 pm..he was too tired..when he entered he saw shekhar is waiting for him with his dinner..

Sanskar : Ohhh..soo sorry..uncle..it really has taken too much time coming back from village..(tired sound)..& thanks for the dinner..

Shekhar : It's my duty beta (Son)..you go.. freshen up..I am serving ur dinner..(with a smile)..

Sanskar too smiles & left for freshenup..after freshen up he changed his dress into white track pant n blue t-shirt..then comes to have dinner..& he started the conversation...

Sanskar : Uncle..i heard from villegers that here something happen many years ago that after that people in horror never come here to stay any night..why ?

Shekhar looks at Sanskar for sometime while he is having dinner...then said..

Shekhar : Dear..sometimes we can't do anything to change the past..it remains the same always..you know this palace is sooo old that here could be so many secrets n histories & stories..so people without seeing anything believe everything & said it's not good palace but i stay often here but never faced anything..

Sanskar watched shekhar carefully then smiled..i thought so..it's just a beautiful place...without any story no place can be famous..so it's normal to have any story about it..noo??..okay i am full now..it's was delicious food..thanks the person who cooked it..

Shekhar : Beta (Son)..my daughter cooked all the food..my daughter Ragini..(with a smile)..

Sanskar : That's nice..okay i think i should take ur leave..i am tired & you are also the same..

Shekhar nods & said..

Shekhar : Beta i won't be here from tomorrow..you are staying here 5 more days right..so in these days my daughter will come with your food..i hope u don't mind..

Sanskar : It's okay..no pronblem..& i am gonna concentrate on my story of this palace so it's okay!!..(smiles n left for his room)...

---------------------------

Sanskar's room..

Sanskar was in his room..thinking & hearing all the recordings of the statements of villagers...he sat down on the chair infront of a mini table with table lamp..it's already 12:00am of night..he was sitting infront of window table with his book & pen..he wrote some pages all over the statements..& thought more deeply..he was thinking - "i think in this palace has some story which actually people don't know"..after thinking so much he went to bed & slept..

In the morning..

It's winter...when Sanskar woke up he saw a beautiful girl infront of him standing with tea trey..the girl was beyond beautiful & also in pink cotton silk saree..& full sleeves blouse..her hair was loose down..it went till her waist..Sanskar blinked seeing the girl...& thought it may be Ragini Shekhar Gadodia's daughter & also thought the girl was really sweet..the girl smiled seeing his expressions & said..

Girl : Good morning Mr.Maheshwari..(with a light smile)..

Sanskar : Morning..Ms.Ragini !!

The girl shakes her head in no..n Sanskar gets confused n looks at her & the girl smiles..

Girl : I am Swara..not Ragini..actually i am ragini's friend i stay near the palace..you can see there is a room..i am staying there for somedays..& ragini went for some work of 5 days for her exams..(with a smile)..

Sanskar looks surprised...

Sanskar : Ahhh..i am sorry..Ms.Swara..by the way i heard no one stay here...(confused)..

Swara : (laughs)..actually it's not like that...i just come here 2 days ago..i went for some work out of this village so maybe Shekhar uncle forgot to tell you..(with a assuring tone)..

Sanskar looks at her laughter & happy eyes he gets mesmorized..he smiles then shakes his head..Swara hand over the tea cup to him..

Swara : Have it..you will feel fresh..(smiles)..

Sanskar : Yeah..thanks alot for this..so you are here till the time i am here..that would be nice to know about you..(with a smile)..

Swara : Mr.Maheshwari..i think you should conentrate in your book on this palace not my story..(in a playful way)..

Sanskar : (laughs)..that's well i think...by the way i am writer so it's my speciality to know about people & places..you are pretty enough to know about you..(winks at her & laughs)...

Swara shook her head n said..

Swara : Nice..joke..Mr.Maheshwari..

Sanskar looks at her amusedly..

Sanskar : Call me..Sanskar..i think it's suits on me..(blinks while having bed tea)..

Swara : Well..not a problem at all Sanskar..so you should also call me Swara only..no Ms.Swara..(smiles brightly)..

Sanskar : Done..& once again thanks for this..it's really nice to drink..

Swara : My pleasure..Sanskar..okay you get ready & do your work cause i am also leaving for my work see you at lunch time..

Sanskar : Okay..see yaaah !!(smiles)..

Swara left..like that Swara & Sanskar started conversation about eachother..sanskar thinks she is very good & from a good family..like that they gets good friend in 2 days..Swara always come with his breakfast..lunch..dinner..& they started liking their company..in case she also hepling him writing his book regarding the palace..in 3rd day after dinner they decided to go for a walk outside of palace garden..so they went together..Sanskar welly explained his life..but he thinks he now also rarely know Swara..he think she is free with him..but she never talk much about herself & family..but he ignores all this..thinking he like to be with her..likes her company it's not very bad that i really don't know about her..he loves her bright smile..so while talking to eachother they reach near lake so they decided to sit on the breach of lake gorge/Ghat...they sitted together..it's winter so sanskar was in jacket & swara was in shawl..as usual she is in saree..it's a moonlit night..moon is shining brightly..then sanskar started to ask her..

Sanskar : Swara..u know when 1st day i came here i heard about this place is not good..village people are saying that something happened here with a girl long years ago..do you know anything about it..??(asked to know cause he is not sure)..

Swara blinks at him..n thinks something...she gets sad then she says..

Swara : Hmm..i know sanskar..it's a long story you know..actually about 50 years ago..this palace was alive like a new bride & here king used to party very much..so he has his one most capable dancer but as heard the girl dancer was not ready to dance in sessions cause she was not like other dancers actually she was forced to dance among all the people..she was just 24 years girl..she loved dance but just for her satifaction..she was not a dancer but the king bought her & force her..the cruel one..(while saying sanskar feels that swara also getting angry..he felt it's obvious if any girl was forced like that then other who didn't like it specially girls would react this way)..

Sanskar : Then what happened ?

Swara : Then..one day the girl after forcing to dance couldn't help out but cursed all the royal family before commetting suicide..then she hanged herself & died..after that this royal family slowly slowly died cause of her curse...now people say they saw that girl's "Shadow"(happy in heart)..

Sanskar : Ahhh that was bad i think..poor girl after all..

So after ending their conversation they headed back to palace & swara too went to her room..sanskar sat down on his chair & started writing about all what he was feeling but smiles remembering about swara..like that his also slept..next day was like before swara comes with tea..then his breakfast..they chatted for long time..then she went back..he too done his writings..he had his lunch & swara served him..after that he gets busy again in his work..he had dinner which was send by swara but he saw dinner but didn't find her..he thought maybe busy..so he had dinner..then went to sleep..but he was not getting sleep at all..at that time he heard some anklets sound loudly..& some song..he gets up suddenly hearing the sounds..it's full moonlit night today..he got up & went to check..
He comes out of palace then headed towards the song & sound..he reached the place..what he saw he was shocked..he was Swara in some anarkali dress (Indian Long Dress) dancing in the open space of a building..he was admiring her..he started thinking about it & he also started walkinng around her seeing her dancing flawlessly..swara also making him go crazy by her amazing lovely moves..he was just standing & walking there admiring her..Swara gives a smile to him..swara where started to go there in line lights started flashing..it's looking outstanding to Sanskar seeing a beautiful lady dancing smoothly..without any fear in this moomlit night..suddenly danced stopped n he comes to his sense & he noticed there was nothing..no light..no swara...nothing !!..it's an empty space..

He felt weird first time thinking why he was seeing those..Was he missing swara alott??..just today she didn't come giving me dinner...-- "i think in 4 days i am getting used to her..but where is she today..?? okay meet her in the morning"..saying this he left for his room..then slept..but he didn't sleep peacefully cause he was remembering swara..

---------------------------

On 5th day morning it's his last day staying here..he wakes up with his these 4 days fav. voice of swara..he wakes up seeing her immidiately..then goes near & hugs her unknowingly..

Sanskar : Where were you yesterday..?? You didn't even meet me while you come here..(sith concern)..

Swara gets confused & then says..

Swara : Sanskar i was busy making my projects & thought not to disturb you more..cause you would leave today so i didn't want to get used to your company..you got that noo??..(with a sad voice)..

Hearing her Sanskar breaks the hug & looks at her...she smiles..

Swara : Sanskar..in those day you become my very good friend..In Those Years first time i felt good with someone like you..will remember you always man..!(happy)..

Sanskar : (smiles sadly he don't know why)..yeah that's true..i also gets closed with someone like you in a short time..will miss u dear..

Swara : Ohhh..i thought to say you but forgot that i told u about that girl story no..if you don't believe or anything you need for your writting then you need to know that behind this palace you will see that girl grave..she was buried their after her death..(said faintly without emotions)..one thing i know that people think wrong about her that she will kill people but i think if she wanted that the she would kill u & me cause we are staying in this palace only..people just get afraid easily..(smiles)..

Sanskar : That's pretty cool.. & true..okay will discuss it later..then he had his breakfast..he again talked with her about usual things about this village and all..people..thinking..as writer his experience..she too admired him while he was talking..she smiles seeing his boyish antics..his smiles..but she smiles sadly..after lunch sanskar swara sitting on the hall room..

Swara : Sanskar life is tough know ??..we can't tell what happen with us next time..we really don't care to know..i think we should live in every moment..& enjoy our life..cause it's so small to understand it's value..some values it but circumstances snatch it from them..it's hard to live a life without our choice of live..you know, you should be happy always for what you are!..as a friend my best wishes & prayers will always be with you..(smiles n hirt inside)..

Sanskar was looking at her amazedly & hearing her everywords...he is feeling like he is hearing a beautiful poem..he smiles to her n says..

Sanskar : Hmmm..swara..that's true..& thanks for the wish & company & this beautiful friendship..(smiles)..

Swara too smiles..

After that at night Shekhar came back to palace & meet with sanskar...seeing him sanskar smiles..

Sanskar : Uncle..welcome back..& thanks for the gesture & you did to me & ragini's friend swara who always was here with my food & gives me company..

Shekhar was hearing all this in disbelieve & then said..

Shekhar : Beta (Son)..here is no friend of ragini..ragini was out of town for her study..

Sanskar : What?? But swara told the same what are you saying about ragini to me..what are you saying..swara is not her friend??!! Then why she told me that ragini told her to take care of me..(shocked n confused)..she also told she lives in that house pointing towards swara's room from his room..

Shekhar looks at the room where sanskar pointed he gets shocked badly & in horror he said..

Shekhar : You met with her..ohh..god..she is only swara..she stayed with u those days..OMG!!

Sanskar is hell confused & gets angry cause he is not saying anything straightly..

Sanskar : What the hell are you talking about..? Can u please tell me clearly..don't make puzzles..(angry)..

Shekhar shook his head in horror first then smiled...

Shekhar : She liked you at last..she will be free today..she will get peace today..she shared her story with you..in way of a girl story isn't it??..yeah !! she told our family 25 years ago that..she will find her freedom..& her love can free her only..oneday she will get free..today the day she committed suicide & buried behind the palace..you are the first person after our family members who know about it..isn't it ??

Sanskar hearing all this was in shock..he covered his mouth with his palm..& gasped..he was remembering her every words..her smile..her laughs..their moments together...everything...!!

Sanskar : Yeah..she told me everything..also told me that the girl is not here to scare or harm anyone..if she was then she could kill her or me..that means through the girl's story she was trying to tell her inner words that she is good one not bad..what do you mean she gets her love ??!!

Shekhar : She got your touch maybe & feels that you are the only one she could have love & you can only give her freedom..which she gets through you..she is free today & happy..she also wished you know for your life..i know she will never hurt anyone..she kept her promise she is leaving this world finally..her spirit is leaving today..if you wanna witness this you can check dear..(smiles & left saying)..God bless you beta (Son)..

Sanskar was in shock mostly but he thinks about checking..so he without thinking rushed to outside then behind the palace.. after that what he saw was his out of imagination..he saw his every moments with her flashing on the air..after all this he noticed her..she turned to his side & their eyes met..she smiled heavenly at him..& murmured...

Swara : Thank you..Sanskar..!!

Then he saw that in a white colour saree she wass walking in a direction where was a old grave..then she stood near there & then looked at sanskar who was looking at her in emotionless way..but she smiled & steps forward...in a second she vanished in grave as a SHADOW..& all moments vanished from the air..it's now only dark & every where a peace of silence..but suddenly her some words runned through his ear...

**Swara's words for last time to Sanskar**

*****************************
Swara : Sanskar life is tough know..?? we can't tell what happen with us next time..we really don't care to know..i think we should live in every moment..& enjoy our life..cause it's so small to understand it's value..some values it but circumstances snatch it from them..it's hard to live a life without our choice of live..you know you should be happy always for what you are..as a friend my best wishes & prayers will always be with you..(smiles n hurt inside)..
*****************************

Sanskar body shivered remembering those words but he smiles brightly..& this "The SHADOW" will always be remain as beautiful memory of my life..hope you will be happy now..i was ur love it's quite unbelievable but respect "The Shadow" of your life who never hurts anyone..

Suddenly his thoughts interrupt by a shout...

"""""Ohhh Gosh"""""

---------------------------

"OHHH GOSH..Sanskar from where you got this story huhhh..it's touching but suddenly it's full of horror.."...

Sanskars looks at the girl & smiles thinking that he was thinking about them in his film..

Sanskar : My darling wife swara..it's just a story my dear..i just made it as short film..(laughs)..

Swara yeah she is his lovely...bubbly wife Swara..

Swara : Yeah ..yeah i know..now let's go to sleep..(smiles)..

Sanskar : Okay..madam..let's go..

They went to their room after closing the DVD of short film..They laid down in eachothers embrace..like swara slept quickly in her husband's comfortable arms & by holding her close he kisses her head..he brushes her hair & cheeks thinking...

Sanskar(thinking) : Swara you are the only "SHADOW" of my life..which always protect me from everything by walking with me in your physical absence but your inner feelings is always with me cause i own your heart..& that's why you are the "Shadow" in my way of life..& "The Shadow" will always reminds me the importance of your love..my love Swara..i love you my "SHADOW"...!!

In the sky moon shines brightly & again shows those moments of SwaSan together..their meetings..laugh..& smile..Again "The_Shadow"...& also shows writing that..

"Swara will always be your's like the #The_Shadow..."

//Sometimes we shouldn't think over anything so much..is anything or anyone is only for us..then they will come back to us anyhow..just don't push it too much..try to hold it or leave it..it will get back normal Eventually//
