chapter 1 The beginning of the shadow

Chapter 1: Agaaz e saaya

Karachi ki raat... samundar ke kinare hawa tez thi, lekin ek kona tha jahan andhera bhi dare.

Wahan... eek shaks khada tha - aankhon mein laal chamak, chehre pe ek udaasi -

Ubaidkk, ek demon... lekin dil se insaan.

"Yeh duniya mujhe sirf dar se dekhti hai... lekin kabhi kisi ne mera dard nahi dekha."

Usi waqt, door Korea mein ek building ke rooftop pe ek ladki akeli khadi thi -

Kim Jo-woon, ek CEO, ek fighter, lekin andar se khaali.

"Main sab kuch jeet gayi... bas ek apna sa insaan nahi mila."

Lekin taqdeer ne likh diya tha -

Karachi ke andheron ka rasta Seoul ke roshnon se milne wala tha...

Ubaidkk aur Kim... ek aise safar ka aaghaz karne wale the jahan pyaar bhi tha... aur saaya bhi.

Karachi ka andhera... aur ek narm si hawa...

Ubaidkk ne socha tha thodi der ke liye aakh band kare...

Par jab aankhein khuliin - toh scene badal chuka tha!

"Yeh... hawai adda toh nahi lagta... aur yeh log sab... aik jaise kyun hain?!"

Ubaidkk ne idhar udhar dekha - har banda white skin, straight black hair, choti aankhein... aur sab ki expressions dead serious!

"Abe yeh toh cloning lab lag raha hai! Har shakhs Xerox copy hai! Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V ke baap!"

Ek larki uske paas se guzri - mask pehna hua, lekin aankhon se gussa...

"Excuse me! Move!"

Ubaidkk ne kaha, "Aray behan, zara halki chalo, abhi Karachi se teleport hua hoon!"

Tabhi ek digital board pe likha tha:

"Welcome to Seoul International Airport"

Ubaidkk ki aankhein phat gayi -

"SEOUUUUUL?! ... Mera to visa bhi nahi bana! Maa kasam mujhe koi teleport karke le gaya hai... ya toh dream hai ya mai Netflix ka background extra ban gaya hoon!"

Usne ek bande ko roka, "Bhai, yahan sab log ek jaise kyun lag rahe hain? Kya filter laga hua hai?"

Wo banda hans kar bola, "Ye Seoul hai bhai... yahan sab banda ya toh K-drama actor hai ya phir unka twin."

Ubaidkk ne taang sambhalte hue kaha,

"Agar yeh Korea hai... toh kahin Kim bhi yahin toh nahi?"

Tabhi ek building pe bada sa poster laga tha -

"CEO KIM JO-WOON - The Beauty with Brains"

Ubaidkk ke chehre pe smile aayi...

"Lagta hai qismat ne mujhe direct heroine ke set pe bhej diya hai... ab to sirf entry maarni hai, wo bhi slow motion mein!"

"CEO vs Demon - Jab Pehli Nazar Ne Judgemental Ghoor Diya" 🥵🔥

Seoul ki thandi hawa... aur Ubaidkk ka garam swag.

Airport ke bahar nikalte hi Ubaidkk ne socha,

"Yeh log mujhe alien samajh rahe hain ya fashion disaster?"

Ek ajeeb silence tha - sab log mask mein, classy suits mein... aur bechara Ubaidkk... Karachi wala kapra pehne hue, hairstyle hawaon mein uda hua.

Tabhi ek shining black car rukti hai... aur usme se nikalti hai ek rich Korean lady - red lipstick, shades, high heels... full K-drama villain vibe.

Wo Ubaidkk ke saamne aati hai aur English mein kehti hai:

"Do you know who I am?"

Ubaidkk seedha bolta hai:

"NAHI... aur honestly, janna bhi nahi chahta."

Lady shocked:

"Agar jano ge... to hairan reh jao ge!"

Ubaidkk hath jod ke bolta hai:

"Behen, main hairan nahi hona chahta... pehle se life shockon se bhari hai!"

Pass se ek banda kehta hai:

"Yeh toh Jessica Han hai... Billionaire heiress!"

Ubaidkk taana maarte hue:

"Naam Jessica, attitude Shahrukh Khan ka... calm down, madam foreigner!"

Wo ghurti hai... Ubaidkk uska chashma le ke kehta:

"Tumhein pata hai... tum chashma ke bina bhi blurry lagti ho!"

Phir slow motion mein door se Kim Jo-Woon aati hai - classy, confident... aur direct Ubaidkk ko dekhti hai.

Ubaidkk whisper karta hai:

"Abey yeh toh asli heroine lagti hai... agar villain itni dangerous hai toh heroine kitni shandar hogi!"

Kim aankh maar ke guzarti hai...

Jessica jal ke bolti hai,

"You'll regret this!"

Ubaidkk smile maar ke kehta hai:

"Regret toh tab hota jab tum meri zindagi mein thori der aur ruk jaati!"

Zaroor bhai! Agla full comedy + desi tadka scene ready hai - Kim Jo-woon ki company ka interview... aur Ubaidkk ka entry style mast!

Yeh lo Chapter 4:

Agla din...

Ubaidkk ne ek Korean bhai se suit udhaar liya - size chhota tha, lekin confidence full XXL!

Company ka naam: "Jo-Woon Enterprises"

Tagline: "We don't hire. We choose."

Ubaidkk building ke andar gaya - sab elevator mein line mein khade... aur har kisi ke haath mein resume, portfolio, file...

Aur Ubaidkk ke haath mein?

Chhalli (bhutta)... jo wo raat ko Karachi se le aaya tha aur freeze mein rakh diya tha 😎

Receptionist ne kaha:

"Please fill this form."

Ubaidkk:

"Form to bhar dunga... par agar dil bhar gaya toh?!"

Receptionist confused, "Sir?"

Ubaidkk:

"Joke tha behen... hass lo, warna zindagi aur bhi serious ho jaayegi."

Interview room ke andar:

Teen judges baithe - sab Korean... aur beech mein CEO Kim Jo-Woon khud!

Kim ne aankh utha ke dekha...

Ubaidkk ne aankh jhuka ke kaha:

"Assalamualaikum CEO sahiba... aapke jaisi beauty toh Karachi ke billboard pe bhi nahi milti!"

Kim (straight face):

"Why should we hire you?"

Ubaidkk:

"Kyunkay main woh hoon jo deadlines se pehle kaam khatam karta hai... aur break ke waqt chai bhi bana leta hai!"

Judge 1:

"Your CV?"

Ubaidkk:

"CV nahi... meri zindagi khuli kitaab hai - puchho jo puchhna hai!"

Judge 2:

"What's your biggest weakness?"

Ubaidkk:

"Korean food dekh ke muh mein pani aur aankhon mein aansu aa jata hai... spicy bohat hota hai bhai!"

Sab hansi rok rahe hote hain...

Kim first time smile karti hai.

Kim:

"Do you think you can survive in this environment?"

Ubaidkk (dramatic pause):

"Main Karachi ka rehne wala hoon... load shedding, traffic, or mehngai ke beech zinda hoon... yahan ka AC office toh jannat lag raha hai!"

Suddenly, ek judge kehta hai:

"You're... hired!"

Kim aankh maar ke kehti hai:

"Welcome to Jo-Woon Enterprises, Mr... Demon?"

Ubaidkk grin maar ke:

"Naam yaad rakhna... Ubaidkk. Pakistan se - Style mein Shahrukh, kaam mein Nawazuddin!"
