Café Mystére

Lechu was sitting in her cafe staring at space. She was sighing a lot from time to time immersed in deep thoughts. That looks in her eyes tells that she has lost all hope in her life.

Jasmine hopes into the cafe like she got some breaking news. She wandered her eyes and caught Lechu for whom she actually came there.

" Are you mad ? Are you completely nuts ? '' Jasmine shouted at Lechu and sat in front of her. Lakshmi frowned her eyebrows and stared at Jasmine not understanding what she was saying.

" We just chatted with me a few minutes ago ? " Lechu asked

" After hearing everything how can I stay there calm ? Even after knowing everything you are still with that moron ? What happened to you Lechu ? Why are you torturing yourself  ? " Jasmine asked frantically.

" Do you think that I am dying to be with Dev ? I am also annoyed like I wish I could just vanish from here. But I can't do that. I have lots of issues Jas. You can't even think about it. This cafe is my only hope now " Lechu said emotionally.

Jasmine looked around and saw the empty cafe then gave an unbelievable look at Lechu.

" Yeah I can see that " Jasmine mumbled.

" First you make your employees work properly. Where are they ? Whenever I come here they won't be here. They behave like lazy lads " Jasmine asked for her employees who were not at cafe that time.

" They went out ." Lechu replied in a lazy tone and continued blabbering.

"  At first my marriage with Dev, then his revenge, Nisha's death which happened because of my appa, then he left us, now again Dev..... Do you think that I can be normal after all these " Lakshmi laid her head on table and whimper.

" Now a days I don't feel like to go back to Rathore villa but there is no other place for me to go. If I didn't see there then Dev will find me from any hole in this world. I can't even go and hide somewhere properly for few days. " Jasmine went completely silent after knowing her situation. She patted her back and sat there without saying much.

"Ms Adrushta Laksmi got a registered letter. " Lakshmi stood from her place and looked at the postman all confused. He forwarded the letter to her and got her signature before leaving.

What is it ?" Jasmine enquired

"Let me see first" Lakshmi replied and open the seal to see what's inside.

Her eyes became wet after going through the matter typed inside that letter. Letter crumpled within her hands and she looked at Jasmine helplessly.

"what is it ? Did Dev send any divorce papers again ? " Jasmine asked. Lechu shook her head as no and looked at Varun who came back to the cafe that time. Behind him Nina, Ishaan and Ria also came to the cafe.

Varun understood something was wrong and came to Lakshmi to see what is in that letter.

"This shop and this property has kept for auction. Either she needs to pay half of the amount within a week or she will lose this place through auction" Varun read the letter and informed others .
