Dear Sir
I am writing this letter to inform you that I need leaves for one month starting from today 25th April 2021. As I have already explained to you about the illness of my father, I have to be with him for atleast one month to take care of him and his needs. In case of any emergency, I have to take him to the hospital.

I will be back next month. I hope you are fine with this, and if required you can reach me any time through mobile.

Thanks for considering my leave application and helping me in a tough situation.

Thanking You,

Yours sincerely,
Abdulhameed Aliyu Danbatta

The kitchen was a delightful mess, filled with the vibrant colors and enticing aromas of various ingredients. Yellow, orange, red, and green bell peppers sizzled in a pan with oil, releasing a mesmerizing fragrance. Chicken pieces, marinated overnight in hung curd, were now ready for cooking.

Abdulhameed's return was eagerly anticipated, as he would spend a month with the family. It had been years since they had all lived together. Their father is also home, and they decided to cook together, giving their maid a day off. The family had returned from Abuja the previous day, after a semester break.

A large pot of water boiled on the stovetop, while Munira carefully cleaned the rice for fried rice. The aroma of boiling rice wafted through the house. Bahijja expertly juggled frying chicken and stirring the sauce, taking a moment to prepare a soothing ginger tea for her brother.

Munira's phone rang, and she smiled upon seeing a video call from her little cousin. "Are you having a special guest?" her cousin asked.

"Not really, just my brother coming back today, and he's going to spend a month with us."Munira replied
