With Pain Come Love 2

Yaya 41

-Yaya
I woke up with a splitting headache, a grumbling tummy, and light coming in from the window. How long have I been out? I tried to touch my head only to find out my hands were tied up and so were my ankles. Great! Typical kidnap story. Couldn't they have been a little spontaneous about this and added a TV atleast, make the room look presentable? I mean if you going to keep someone hostage the least you could do is make them comfortable right? Even the chair I was sitting on uncomfortable. These people were really set out on torturing me. I wonder what this is about. The door opened, I looked up and a man walked in, he was tall and handsome no doubt but then when a good looking guy has you hostage, their looks are the least of your concern. He had a glass of water with him and a plate that had a sandwich on. Normally I'd be freaked out and worried about being drugged but honestly I am thirsty and hella hungry!
Him: here drink. You must be thirsty
Me: where am i?
Him: Port St Johns
Me: how long have I been here?
Him: 2 days now
He helped me drink and then put the glass on the table
Him: you are very pretty Yandiswa
He said locking hair behind my ear which only made me cringe. He had this look in his eyes which only scared me. Whatever he does can he please not rape me. I know I'm on contraceptives and all but they only prevent pregnancy and nothing else. I've seen what rape does to people and I am not ready to be part of the stats.
Me: why am I here?
Him: you in the way
Me: what do you mean?
Him: you shouldn't have gotten with that Bess boy to begin with
I was really confused right now.
Him: he loves you, too much even which is not good for my friend because she loves me and will do anything to be with him
Me: what friend?
Him: you'll see her soon. I told her to stay away from the guy but when they met again sparks flew and something in her made her fall in love all over again
Me: Olona did this?
He chuckled
Him: you hungry princess?
Me: what's your name?
Him: Luzuko
Me: can you loosen these up a little, they really hurting my wrists and my ankles
When a nigga shows a little interest in you, you gotta seize the moment and take a little advantage of the situation. He loosened the knot up a little and removed the rope on my ankles. He was squatting in front of me admiring me
Me: thank you. Thank you so much
I said touching his face which made him lean in closer to my touch. I took this as an opportunity to kick him in the balls. Maybe he should have wore jeans because sweatpants... not a good idea. I got off the chair and ran for the door, I found my way to a kitchen and took out a knife from the drawer trying to cut the rope. I heard him cursing making his way to the kitchen. This rope would cut at all. Fuck! I'm screwed.
Him: you forgot to take the key princess. Fuck
He sounded really pissed. I can't imagine the pain he was in. All star dont play. He walked in holding his crouch
Him: you'll wish you never done that
I held the knife pointing at him. I've watched moves, I saw Ledi stab a guy in the balls. I know how to use a knife.
Me: I am not afraid to use this
Honestly I was terrified as fuck but this is no time to be showing fear. Maybe those years of living with Ledi were finally paying off. I see why taking self defence classes are a necessity. He walked closer and I moved back
Him: you won't use that princess.
I swung it at him and he moved back. He seemed a little stunned by my willingness to fight back. He probably thought I'm those kids that grew up with a silver spoon and literally knows nothing about the real world. I grew up with boys, I know how to fight. Heck when I was a kid my aunt was convinced I would be lesbian or a tomboy.
Me: come closer i'd really like to show you
Him: I took you for granted princess
Me: why won't you just let me go?
Him: I told you, you in the way! Because of your meddling she lost her baby
Me: Kate?
Him: how many exes is this boyfriend of yours responsible for making them lose a child?
I kept quiet. Now I was really blank and tired of playing this whole guessing game.
Me: just let me go and I promise you I won't press any charges or what so ever
We heard a key turning and both turned to the door. He smiled
Him: give me the knife and let's go back to the room before things get ugly!
Me: no!
The door opened and a woman with red hair walked in and locked behind her with a few plastic bags.
Her: is she still out?
She placed the plastics on the counter and then looked up and noticed me.
Me: no way!
My eyes had to be deceiving me. It couldn't possibly be! What has Melokuhle gotten me into now? I was so shocked to see her the knife in my hand slipped and fell and just then I felt a bee sting on my neck and I was knocked out... again!

-Naledi
It's been 2 whole days now and still nothing. The Qumbu thing was a dead end and the "witness" didn't give anything solid. Melo and Yaya's mom had it the worst. Babe's lived with us, said she couldn't be in the same house as Melo or else she was going to lose it, she blamed him for Yaya's disappearance and so did Melo. He hated himself, he blamed himself for this. I did go to see Sino she wasn't waking up either. Everything was just messed up. I just hope that she's not lying in a ditch somewhere. Food could barely go down, none of us were handling this. Melo drove off to Qumbu himself and searched the village high and low and still got nothing. Whoever did this is a mastermind no doubt. It's only been 48 hours and we all look like we've been hit by a truck. We are all a mess, a train wreck. It was her birthday party this Friday. This would be her first birthday without me. As busy as she was with school she came to attend mine and Nita's birthday's and also Nita's baby shower. That's the kind if friend she is. We have to find her! Ma'Gxaba was sitting on the couch talking on the phone, she said her goodbyes and then turned to me
Her: I don't know anymore
Me: don't give up just yet. Melokuhle and his family will find her
Her: its this same Melokuhle who got her into this mess
Me: hayi Ma Melo would never put Yaya in harms way. He loves your daughter, he loves her so much that he quit his job here and went to work in the states just to be close to her
She shook her head.
Her: if he really loved her then he would have never made her cry the way she did, he would have saved her from himself and his lunatic flings or exe's or whatever!
Me: Mah uZuko had Yaya cornered this other day in the restroom and forcefully kissed her telling her that he belonged to her. Melo went to beat him up
Her: Zuko is in Durban? What is he doing here? Oh God!
Me: my point is that it's not Melo's fault that she's missing. He is hurting just as much as you are Ma and Yaya wouldn't want you treating him the way you are right now. You and Melo share the same pain, you love her as much as the other does. Don't push him away he's only trying to get his girlfriend back.
She just nodded and kept quiet. Ash walked in with tea and offered us both. Serena joined us and we all just sat silently listening to the news, her missing was on the news now together with other missing girls' stories.

-Melo
I just wish I could get something. A hint or a ransom note or just something. Tailing Olona was useless and so was tailing Lathitha. Both these girls did nothing out of the ordinary and Thomas himself didn't do anything suspicious, Zuko was removed from my punches. Basically, we had no lead. Banele worked day and night to get a glimpse of something but she herself wasn't winning. My phone rang and it was Kate. What could she possibly want? I answered
//Her: Melo. Hi
Me: Kate
Her: I just saw it on the news. How are you holding up?
Me: one day at a time
Her: if there's anyone who can find her it's you. Just hang in there ok
Me: yeah thanks
Her: Melo
Me: yah
Her: good luck. I know she means everything to you
Me: bye Kate//
I'm really in no mood for small talk. Of all the people on my suspect list Kate isn't. She's not capable, I am probably underestimating her but she doesn't have it in her to pull this off nor does she have the resources. I kept scrolling on my phone contact list trying to think of all my past flings but foolish me, I deleted all their numbers. The only numbers I still had were of Mira and Olona of which I gotta delete them too. Asemahle walked in and cuddled herself under my arm. She has a boyfriend for this but she still does it to me.
Her: what are you up to?
Me: trying to figure out which of my exes or flings could have pulled this off
Her: we found nothing suspicious with Lathitha's phone records either than the calls exchanged between her and Thomas. Olona's phone records seem clean a..
Me: what could Lathitha and Thomas be meeting about?
Her: they are brother and sister
Me: no way.
Her: yes way. When last did you talk to Miranda?
Me: I haven't. I last saw her when she tried killing herself
Her: I know she's no psycho but can we have B check into her phone.. just to be safe and Kate's too
I gave her my phone
Me: have at it
She took it and walked out with it. I was going crazy locked up in my room so I opted for joining them instead. When I got downstairs Iya pulled me in for a tight hug.
Her: how are you?
Me: the way I look is the way I feel
Her: we'll find her ok
B: Kate seems clean, there's nothing out of the ordinary with her and her banking activities seem normal
Me: go figure! She wouldn't
B: we just trying our luck here. Whoever took her has to mess up some how. Awesome
Us: what?
Her: I managed to get into the security system of the gas station in Qumbu. I'm hoping we'll get something
I kept hoping and praying for a miracle. There has to be a miracle or something along those lines. I got a call from Ledi asking if we had found anything but nope we hot nothing yet. Ase walked out and went to the kitchen. The family has been so supportive through this and so have our friends.
