Mohabbatein only love

Part 35

Author POV:

As the reception ended, the guests departed, leaving only the Rajput and Khanna families. They gathered in the garden, engaging in conversation and laughter. However, Abhimanyu was preoccupied with finding Annaya. "What's wrong, Abhi?" Priyanka inquired.

"Bua, have you seen Annaya?"

"No, bacha, I haven't seen her for a while," she replied, "but don't worry, she must be around here, busy with something," she reassured.

"Bhabhi, have you seen Sneha?" Gayatri asked, emerging from inside.

"Ah, Sneha? I haven't seen her, but the last time I did, she was with Rohit," Akshara responded.

"I can't see either of them," Gayatri noted, just as Rohit approached.

"Hmm, seems someone was missing me," Rohit remarked with a wide smile.

"No one was missing you. Now, where is Sneha?" she pressed.

"Mom, you've broken my heart," he joked, clutching his chest to show his feigned hurt. "Enough, tell me where Sneha is."

"Sneha? She's not with me," he replied, prompting everyone to rise from their seats in concern.

"Ha, she's not with me, and I haven't seen her for a while," he explained. "But Rohit, I thought I saw Sneha with you," Akshara interjected.

"Well, Badi Maa, she did come to ask about her phone, and then she left," Rohit clarified.

"So, where is Sneha?" Gautam asked with tension and concern. "Araa, don't worry, Bhai Sahab, she will be here only," Akhilesh said, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Nahi, Bhai Sahab, I checked the whole mansion; Sneha is not there," Gayatri said.

"So where did she go? Wait, let me call her," Naksh said, dialing the number. "And wait a minute, where is Annaya? She is also not here," Akshara said, looking around.

"I think Sneha and Annaya are together," Nisha said. "No, Sneha is not answering the call. Wait, let me call Annaya," Naksh said, dialing her number.

"One is not answering, and the other's phone is switched off," he added.

"Araa, I'm getting tensed now. Where are my girls?" Manish said. "Ek minute, let's ask the guard because someone might have gone with them, na?" Lakshay said, and everyone nodded.

"Ha, let's call them," Abhimanyu added.

"No sir, we did not see Annaya and Sneha Mam going out because we have been on our duties since morning," the head security said. "Are you sure?" Abhimanyu asked again. "Yes sir, I'm sure," he replied.

"If they did not go out and they are not in the mansion, then where did they go?" Gautam said. Abhimanyu looked towards Shouraya, Sahil, and Varun, who also looked back at him, thinking about that gangster.

"We can get to know only by one thing, and that is the CCTV footage."

Everyone gathered in the living room as the security in-charge played the footage on the MacBook. "See, sir, neither Annaya nor Sneha mam left the mansion," he said.

"Wait, rewind," Abhimanyu instructed. "Stop," he added. "Someone has kidnapped Sneha," Abhimanyu announced, leaving everyone in shock and disbelief.

"How do you know?" Naksh asked. "Can't you see that box they are loading? Look at the dupatta sticking out," Abhimanyu pointed out, zooming in on the video.

"Yes, this is Sneha's dupatta," Gayatri acknowledged, tears streaming down her face, while Mitali and Akshara consoled her.

"Call the wedding planners; they arranged everything, and we can only get information from them now," Gautam said angrily.
