I was going to go to sleep when an email pop up ,The email i have been longing for so long
"Sandra Bolock,your leave has been granted"
It feels so good to finally get leave for whole three months after working for 3 years with no leave days
I check my 'to do' list which I have created two years ago
To do list
Visit my family back in Duskland
Go hiking
Make new friends
Visit a new place
I look at my list and it saddens me a little .I have not met my family for five years now .I had to take training for two years straight and for three years I worked hard and become the agent that
I am today.

1 week later
Im finally in Duskland ,It has changed so much in the past years,New faces and all the places seems unfamiliar
I book a cab and reached my place ,where I found my mother waiting for me by the gate
We hug and i went inside to meet the rest of the family members after 5 whole years
We all sobbed a little and than ate the food they prepared for me.
Oh shoot!My elder brother Philip shouted 'Mom,I need to check some test copy,I'll go ahead and do it (He stood from the couch and walk to his room)
Goodnight everyone
My younger sister Maxi put his hand on his forehead and sigh "Mom,I need to get my assignment done ,the submission is due tomorrow.I forgot about it all in my excitement,You two enjoy the conversation,im going in and Sis you will have to tell me what you told her okay?
I smile and nodded
Goodnight and she went to her room

It's early in the morning ,9:00A.M ,My brother and we are heading to the only photo studio in my area to get our childhood photos wash.
(Phone vibrates)
Philip:You go inside ,I'll pick up this call
I went in ,The studio was named as "Mr Williams Photo Studio"
It is a normal photo studio with white wallpaper except one corner,it had a poster of a mother holding a baby filled with blood in her hands.
A tall man with veiny hands wearing a simple t-shirt and a black longpant approaches me
Hello mam,can I help you?
Yes , I need this photos wash
Oh,the photocopy machine is not working well right now ,it might take a day for it to be functioning again,I suggest you come some other day.
Just than my brother comes in
Will,how is your business going on?
It's okay for now ,let see how it will be in the long run.By the way Phil,you never told me you had a girlfriend (smile teasingly)
She is not my Girlfriend , she is my sister.I told you the one who works abroad .
Oh yes ,you did.
( He faces me and put out his hand forward)
William,nice to meet you
(i shakes his hand)
Sandra, pleasures all mine
Philip : Will ,we need to get this photos wash
William : My photocopy machine is not working and it might take a day to fix it so
Philip : Well,I'll just send it to you and than you can get it done and Umm Sandra give your phone number to him and you get it from him when it's done,I'll be busy so u can't come to get it again.
(We exchange numbers and than I head home and my brother head to his office)
Fact to note :
Philip works as an teacher in their local School "The Duskland School".
