White Tulips

Chapter-1

At Party

As they entered the grand party, Isha's eyes widened in wonder. The lavish decorations, the vibrant music, and the joyful laughter all combined to create a festive atmosphere that was hard to resist. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and Isha found herself getting caught up in the excitement.

Rohan led her through the crowds, nodding hellos to acquaintances and friends. They made their way towards a tall, imposing figure with a kind face and a warm smile - Rohan's father, Vivek mehra.

Vivek Mehra: A visionary entrepreneur and industrialist, leading the Mehra Group of Industries in cutting-edge sectors like design, art and manufacturing.

"Rohan, my boy!" his father boomed, opening his arms wide. "We were waiting for you! And you've brought a friend, I see."

Rohan smiled, hugging his father briefly. "Dad, this is Isha. We, uh, ran into each other earlier."

His father's eyes twinkled with curiosity, but he didn't press for details. Instead, he turned to Isha with a warm smile. "Welcome, Isha! We're glad to have you here. Make yourself at home.

Isha extended her hand, smiling. "Happy anniversary, uncle!"

Rohan's father smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Thank you, Isha! We're so glad you could join us."

Just then, a feminine voice chimed in from behind. "Rohan, beta! Where have you been? We've been waiting for you!"

Isha turned to see an elegant lady in a pink saree, her hair adorned with a delicate jasmine garland. Rohan's mom, she presumed.

Rohan turned to his mom, a sheepish grin on his face. "Hey, Mom. I got held up. But I have a good excuse. Isha here had her bag stolen, and I helped her report it to the police."

Kavita Mehra: Warm, graceful, and elegant lady with a radiant smile. Kind, compassionate, and intelligent, she's a beloved figure and a guiding force in the family.

His mom's expression turned concerned. "Oh no, Isha! That must have been terrifying. Are you okay?"

Isha nodded, feeling a little overwhelmed by the warmth and kindness of Rohan's family. "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks to Rohan here."

Rohan's mom smiled, her eyes shining with warmth. "Well, we're glad to have you here. I'm Rohan's mom, by the way. Kavita."

Isha smiled back, feeling a sense of gratitude towards this kind stranger. "Nice to meet you, Auntie. Happy anniversary to you both."

Kavita Auntie took Isha's hands in hers, her touch warm and comforting. "Thank you, beta. We're so glad to have you here. Come, let me get you something to eat. You must be starving!"

Then a manly voice echoes through the room, "You're late, Rohan!" Neil Mehra, Rohan's brother, strides in with a confident gait, his piercing brown eyes fixed on Rohan with a hint of playful reproach. His chiseled features and strong jawline seem to radiate a sense of warmth and kindness. His deep voice is filled with warmth and familiarity as he approaches his brother and Isha, his eyes crinkling at the corners in a gesture of friendly welcome.

"Neil, this is Isha," Kavita says, her eyes filled with warmth. "Rohan met her today, and she had a bit of a rough start. Her bag was stolen, but Rohan came to her rescue and helped her out." Neil's expression turns sympathetic, and he nods in understanding. "Sorry to hear that, Isha. But I'm glad Rohan was there to help. He's a good guy to have around in a pinch," he says with a smile.

"Thanks, Neil," Isha continues, "Rohan was a huge help. I don't know what I would have done without him. And your family has been so kind to me, I really appreciate it." She smiles gratefully at him. Then she smiles at Kavita...

Kavita's face lights up with a warm smile as Isha smiles at her. "You're very welcome, dear. We're just glad we could help. Now, how about some dinner? I'm sure you're starving after your ordeal."

Isha nodded.

As they sit down to dinner, Isha's looks at the spread before her. "This looks amazing!" she exclaims.

Kavita beams with pride. "Thank you, dear. I'm glad you like it."

As they eat, Isha shares more about her move to the city. "I can't believe I'm finally here! I've been planning this for months. And I have an exhibition to attend the day after tomorrow, so I'll be heading to Delhi early tomorrow morning."

Neil nods thoughtfully. "I'm heading to Delhi too. We can travel together if you'd like."

Isha's face brightens up. "That would be great, thank you!"

Neil smiles slightly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Okay, good. We can leave tomorrow morning then."

Rohan fills in the silence, excitedly chattering about Delhi and the exhibition, but Neil listens quietly, only nodding or making brief comments.
