Lechu along with others gathered together and looked at the officers who brought down two carton boxes with them.

" Sir these boxes got expired food items. They were hiding these in upstairs" two officers kept the boxes on the table and said to their senior officer. He came forward and checked the boxes They were right both the boxes had some rotten food items.

" How you are going to explain this ? " Office asked to Lechu.

" Sir.....I don't know. These doesn't below to my cafe. We are not selling food items then how it can be ours ? Someone should have kept it here..." Lechu replied all panicked.

" Who ? "
When Lechu was trying to explain them there comes next question. If that box was kept there by someone then who is it ? Lechu looked at other staffs and they all stood there cluelessly.

" Sir, most of items are in their menu card ... " An officer said.

" Sir, I planned to sell those items that's why menu card was made but I never got an opportunity to sell them. This is not mine sir.... Trust me " Lechu tried her best to make them believe but there wasn't any evidence to prove what she was saying.

" Since this is your first time offence I am ending it with fine amount and for 10 days you can't open your cafe. If you failed to pay the fine amount cafe will be closed for another ten more days then eventually your license will be cancelled and we will come once more to seal this café. I hope you understood everything that I said. Here ...... " Main food inspector gave a paper to Lechu and said.

Four of the officers walked out with their things and stopped at entrance to say something.

" What are you looking at ? Come out we need to close this café and paste the notice " one officer said. That was remained..... It fell on Lechu's head like a thunder. Nothing much was there to be done. Five of them had to be go out without saying anything or argue with those officers.

Lechu locked her cafe and one officer pasted the notice in front of the glass door and left from there.

Ishaan sat on a step silently and watched them leaving. Nina was silently standing at the edge of road with a crossed arms and looked at locked cafe.

" What's next ? " Ria asked to Lechu but she remained silent.

" How much is the fine amount ? " Varun enquired.

" 50000 rupees " Ria replied reading the notice on glass.

" Damn it ....  " Varun grunted and didn't say anything after that.

" You got any money ? " Ishaan asked to Lechu. She shook her head as no very sadly and sighed like she don't know what to do next or to whom she will ask this much money.

" Then what we are going to do ? " Riya asked worridly to everyone.

" What else ? She should find the fine money and pay it. " Nina replied.

" That's not easy as you are thinking. Also till she finds out that money what we are going to do ? " Ishaan asked raising his voice slightly like he didn't liked the way Nina said that.

" Let's wait Ishaan. Till ten days we can clean the cafe and make little changes. Then after ten days we will reopen. This is not that much complicated like you are thinking " Nina said.

" Then you go and get me a 50k . " Lechu said in a dead tone. She was actually pissed of at everything and everyone.

" Why you showing that face at me ? It's not like I wanted this to happen. " Nina mumbled annoyingly.
