Shankar was always known as the "unlucky" guy in his circle.
Whatever he wished for, life seemed to turn the other way. If he thought of winning a competition, he would lose. If he planned a trip, it would get canceled.
Yet, Shankar never complained. He believed, "Whatever happens is for my good." His positivity was unshakable, even when life tested him the most.
One day, his office sent him on a one-week official duty to Bangalore.
It wasn’t a trip he was excited about, but as always, he smiled and said, "Maybe this is also for my good."
After returning from Bangalore, something strange started happening.
For the first time in his life, everything moved in the right direction.
At work, he got recognized for his skills and was promoted in no time.
His behavior, attitude, even his style everything seemed refreshed and full of confidence.
People around him whispered, thinking Shankar was just showing off.
But the truth was, Shankar had always had the talent; now, life was finally giving him a stage to perform.
As days passed, good news kept flowing into his life. His parents brought him a marriage proposal. Without any hesitation, Shankar agreed.
Soon, he got engaged to Eesha a beautiful, charming girl who seemed like a dream come true.
But deep inside, everyone wondered; What exactly happened in Bangalore during that one week?
A mystery that only Shankar knew... and he kept it close to his heart, smiling silently, thanking destiny for that one unseen miracle.
The Secret of Bangalore:---
After a tiring day of meetings in Bangalore, Shankar returned to his hotel and collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.
He thought the next few days would be just work and routine but fate had different plans.
The next day, he finished his office work and started walking back towards his hotel.
The evening air felt strange the atmosphere around him grew heavy, almost unnatural. He felt as if someone was following him, but when he turned around, no one was there.
As he entered the hotel room, he glanced into a large mirror on the wall and froze.
In the mirror, behind him, was a shadowy figure a man he had never seen before. Terrified, Shankar turned quickly, but there was no one there. He shouted, "Who’s there?!" his voice trembling.
Suddenly, an unusual figure materialized in front of him not fully human, not fully spirit just... there. The figure spoke in a deep, echoing voice: "Don't be afraid. My name is Pinaka."
Pinaka then told his heartbreaking story.
He was once an employee in the same company where Shankar now worked.
One day, Pinaka accidentally discovered some illegal and unethical activities happening inside the company.
Determined to expose the truth, he collected all the evidence and saved it in a pendrive.
But before he could submit it to the ED (Enforcement Directorate), Shankar’s boss, Jagapathi found out.
In a brutal act of betrayal, Jagapathi killed Pinaka and destroyed the pendrive to bury the secrets forever.
But Pinaka's spirit could not rest. He had returned, searching for someone brave and pure-hearted who could help him complete his unfinished mission.
Listening to Pinaka’s story, Shankar despite his fear decided to help. He promised that he would fight for justice.
Guided by Pinaka, Shankar quietly gathered all the evidence again. Day and night, he worked without raising suspicion.
Without anyone noticing not even Jagapathi.
Shankar prepared a new file detailing all the illegal activities.
Finally, with steady hands and a determined heart, Shankar submitted the file to the ED.
Within days, action was taken. Jagapathi was arrested and thrown into jail exposed for all his crimes.
Pinaka’s soul, seeing justice finally served, found peace.
Before disappearing, he smiled at Shankar and said, "Thank you. You have given me my life back."
And just like that, Shankar's life took a turn. The blessings he had always waited for started pouring in; A promotion, respect, happiness, and even love in the form of Eesha.
But only Shankar knew... The Secret of Bangalore.
