The house was bustling with activities. Nadia briskly walked into the kitchen wearing a t-shirt and skirt. A small veil was wrapped round her head down to her shoulders. She kept her hand bag on a kitchen table and turned round to look at the women that were busy working in the kitchen; cooking and cutting vegetables and fruits. "Assalam Alaikum! I am Nadia, head chef at Nadia's Restaurant. I am hired to cook today's dinner for Alhaji and his guests. You all will be my sous chefs" she introduced herself and smiled amiably at the women. 

 "Wa alaikum salam. You are very much welcome. We are so happy to have you here as our head chef,"they chorused smiling back at her. 

  "Oh! My God. So you are Nadia? I have been hearing so much about you. I am a huge fan of yours and an ardent follower on your social media pages and groups. I have been wanting to meet you in person and here you are today. A young lady shouted delightedly as she came close to Chef Nadia.

 They shook hands. Nadia smiled back at her. Glad to meet my fan too.

"Let's not waste time. I have some delicious foods to cook for Alhaji's Guest. Where are the ingredients that Hajiya bought. Nadia asked as she looked round the spacious kitchen and well furnished. The kitchen looks good and will be comfortable to cook in. Before they responded, Hajiya came inside the kitchen saying to Chef Nadia, "sorry for keeping you waiting, I escorted my friends to the gate." 

 "No problem. I was just asking them of the ingredients. Chef Nadia said with a smile. © Asmie's Diary
