Episode 1 Fall in Ocean

Chapter 1 - Doobta Hua Aasmaan, Jalpari Ka Ishq

~ by Ubaidkk

Raat ka aakhri peher tha.

Karachi ke samandar ke kinare aaj kuch zyada hi khamoshi thi, lekin lehron mein ek ajeeb sa toofan chhupa tha.

Ubaidkk ne hawa mein aankhein band karke ek gehri saans li.

Uski zindagi mein har rishta, har umeed, har muskurahat ab thak chuki thi.

Woh insaanon ke jhooth, rishtedaron ke faayde aur doston ke dhokhon se tang aa chuka tha.

"Jab zindagi doob rahi ho, to samandar kyun naa ho?"

Usne halka sa muskurate hue kaha, jaise apne dard ka mazaak uda raha ho.

Lehrein uske qadam choom rahi thi.

Chand ka noor samandar par bikhar raha tha jaise kisi mehboob ka aashiq ke liye aakhri paigham.

Phir ek kadam...

Aur ek aur...

Aur kuch hi pal mein... Ubaidkk samandar ki gehraiyon mein doob gaya.

🧜‍♀️ Doosri Duniya - Ek Chhupi Nazar

Samandar ke neeche, lehron ke paar, ek aur duniya thi - ek aisi duniya jahan insaanon ka aana mana tha.

Jahan sirf jalpariyan rehti thi.

Aur un sab mein sabse alag thi - Kim Ji-won.

Masoom, khamosh aur duniya se chhupi hui.

Woh roz sham ke waqt samandar ki sat'h pe aati thi, sirf usse dekhne ke liye...

Ubaidkk ko.

Woh uska sirf chehra nahi, uski tanhayi, uski soch, uska dard mehsoos karti thi.

Uska har din, uske liye ek dua tha.

Par woh kabhi saamne nahi aayi.

Usne kabhi nahi socha tha... ki aaj woh is kadar uske kareeb aayegi.

🌊 Toofan Aur Taqdeer

Jaise hi Ubaidkk pani mein dooba, samandar ki lehrein sanki hil gayi.

Kim Ji-won ne door se sab dekha...

Uska jism pani ke neeche doob raha tha, aankhein band ho chuki thi...

Aur sans... rukh chuki thi.

"NAHI!"

Uski aankhon mein aansu bhar aaye.

Woh ek jalpari thi - mohabbat karna mana tha.

Lekin aaj usne apne kanoon tod diye.

Usne apne haath failaye, ek roshni uske dil se nikli - ek pracheen jaadu.

Samandar ki lehron ne rukh badla.

Ubaidkk ka jism ek neeli roshni mein chhup gaya.

Aur... kuch hi pal mein... uska sans laut aaya.

Magar ussi jaadu ki keemat thi.

Ubaidkk ko ab zameen par lautne ki ijaazat nahi thi.

🌌 Nayi Dunia - Saat Samandar Paar

Ubaidkk ki aankhein dheere dheere khuli.

Usne dekha... uske aas paas koi aawaz nahi thi, sirf chamakdaar jellyfish, chamakte hue sheher, aur udti hui makhlooq.

"Main... zinda hoon?"

Usne dheere se kaha.

"Lekin yeh... kahan hoon main?"

Ek awaaz uske dil tak aayi -

"Tum ab samandar ke mehmaan ho... Ubaidkk."

Usne dekha - ek jalpari uske saamne thi.

Lambi shining tail, khula gila baalon ka jadoo, aur woh masoom chehra jo kabhi zameen par usne bas ek khwab mein socha tha.

Kim Ji-won.

Woh kuch nahi boli... sirf dekhti rahi.

Uski aankhon mein aise aansu the jaise kisi ne apna sab kuch de diya ho usse bachane ke liye.

💔 Do Duniyaon Ka Faasla

"Tum... tumne mujhe bachaya?"

Ubaidkk ne poocha.

Kim sirf halka sa muskuraayi.

"Main tumhe har din dekhti thi. Har raat dua karti thi ke tum khush raho.

Par aaj... tum doob gaye.

Main dekh nahi saki..."

"Par main yahan... kaise zinda hoon?"

"Tum ab samandar ke jaadu se zinda ho.

Lekin tum wapas nahi ja sakte.

Yeh meri duniya hai, insaanon ka yahaan aana mana hai... aur tum ab yahaan ke ban chuke ho."

Ubaidkk chup tha.

Uske paas shabd nahi the.

Pehli baar kisi ne uski zindagi se mohabbat ki thi - bina kuch maange.

Bina kisi faayde ke.

Sirf dil se.

🫧 Ishq Ka Pehla Pal

Kim ne uska haath thaama.

Samandar ke neeche ek khubsurat mahal ki taraf le gayi - jahan har diwar motiyon se bani thi, jahan har kone se sangeet ki goonj thi.

Magar Ubaidkk sirf uske chehre mein kho gaya.

Usne uske baalon se ek moti nikala, aur dheere se kaha:

"Tum insaan nahi ho, lekin tumse zyada insani koi nahi."

Kim ke aansu gire, lekin muskurahat ke saath.

Usne sirf ek line boli:

"Shayad isliye... mujhe tumse ishq ho gaya."

🌠 Chapter End Lines (Powerful Ending)

Ubaidkk ne asmaan ki taraf dekha... par ab sirf paani tha.

Zindagi ne usse sab kuch cheen liya tha - par samandar ne usse woh de diya, jo kabhi kisi ne nahi diya tha:

Bina sharton wala pyaar.

Aaj woh dooba tha...

Lekin pehli baar...

Dil se zinda hua tha.

> "Jab insaan doobta hai...

Ya toh maut milti hai...

Ya ek jalpari..."
