The next big deal-chapter three


Knut was really thankful that he had at least somewhere to lay his head for the night and the next few days.Its was really sad that how things had turned out. Economic considerations had brought a long standing friendship to an end.

The interesting aspect of the whole affair was that the situation had been saved by the generosity of yet another friend .It would appear that my friendship bond with Robert was much stronger given the fact we shared a common ethnicity in addition to the fact we have classmates at secondary school mates over seven years. It is said that old friends are always the best. .Here is a practical manifestation of that saying.

Nevertheless, there has to be a leap of faith in whatever we do which means we need to take a chance and try to realise our dreams even though no guarantee that we may succeed. After taking a quick shower and having dinner Knut introduced himself to other tenants who were also staying in the house.

Toby Munoz was a young man from Liberia ,medium height with a broad smile.Knut got help from him in order connect his smart to the internet in the property.Ryan Aboagye was the other tenant who Knut met in the kitchen. He was slim ,soft spoken with an oval face.He was warm,knowledgeable,kind and outgoing.
