"What is it that you want in a relationship? And please, be as descriptive as you can be" He asks with a smooth barritone that rings bells of pleasure in my ears and other places I dare not to mention I ponder on the thought for a moment then I look at him "I want to be respected, I want stability and commitment, I want to be able to build a life with someone, to have them cherish, protect and love me. I want honesty and I want to get married and have a family." I stop and chuckle, feeling all kinds of silly, with the way he's looking at me. I can't tell if he's thinking that I'm too wishful given the era that we live in where people are quick to deceive each other and dive from one partner to the next. Commitment really does seem like a thing of the past. "I want a family, I want to settle down, get married, provide for and protect my wife as I should. I also expect respect, honesty, loyalty and transparency" he says and it almost sounds like we are negotiating terms of a deal "And love"I add "Love..." he says slowly like it's his first time hearing of the word, it almost sounds foreign coming from him "Yes, I want to be loved" "What is love, exactly?"

Title: With Pain Comes Love Synopsis: In the vibrant streets of South Africa, amidst the backdrop of university life, a tale of love, longing, and self-discovery unfolds in "With Pain Comes Love." Meet Melokuhle Bess, a charming and confident young man navigating the complexities of love and relationships. With his charismatic demeanor and magnetic personality, Melo has no shortage of admirers. But beneath his cocky exterior lies a heart torn between two worlds. Enter Yandiswa Gxaba, a fierce and independent spirit whose presence ignites a spark within Melo's soul. From their first encounter, it's clear that there's something special between them, a connection that transcends time and space. But as Melo grapples with his feelings for Yandiswa, he finds himself torn between the familiar comfort of his current relationship and the allure of something new and exciting. Caught between loyalty and desire, Melo must confront his inner demons and face the truth of his heart's desires. As Melo and Yandiswa navigate the turbulent waters of love and passion, they soon discover that with pain comes love, and with love comes the power to heal old wounds and embrace the beauty of the present moment. Join Melo and Yandiswa on a journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and redemption as they learn that true love knows no bounds and that sometimes, the greatest love stories are born from the deepest pain.

Mo just wants to love. But love seems not to love her back because she is in an abusive relationship and worse, her man is not hers alone. When she meets Tebatso, a businessman who is rather rude the second time they meet, she is taken but he falls for her friend instead. Things become rather complicated when secrets between friends and lovers come to light, threatening to ruin friendships and relationships.

When life forces you to do something you are against with all your heart, but because you don't want to hurt people who mean the world to you. You shove your feelings down your stomach, and consider their feelings by doing exactly what they want. It doesn't make sense, right? But it will as we go down the journey. On the journey of sacrifices, there are two of us, but one must reign in the end. Who will it be? Copyright © 2021 by Ayanda.N This book is a work of fiction.
