Love That Was Right in Front

Dedicated to my brother and his girlfriendSome love stories don't start with a confession. They start with roasted peanuts at a stadium, 2 AM math sessions, and a rule called "friendship only."In Bhunya, where gossip moves faster than the 4 PM bus from Manzini, Majaha Dlamini and Sphelele Mkhonta have been best friends for six months. He's the quiet poet from Mangcongco who swore off love after heartbreak.
She's the ambitious first-year teacher-in-training from KaLuhleko who laughs with her hands and hides her heart behind jokes. They argue about offside rules, split pizza on Fridays, and pretend they don't notice how much they rely on each other. But when jealousy boils over at the December 14th party, the truth comes out:"Because I love you, Majaha. That's why I get mad when I see you letting other girls close."What follows is messy, real, and terrifying: pushback from exes, whispers in a small town, and two people learning that the hardest part of love isn't saying it - it's believing you deserve it.
Inspired by real events, _Love That Was Right in Front_ is a story about courage, timing, and the people who were always in front of us. For readers who loved _When Courage Tested Like Wine_, this is the next chapter - the one that's actually real. If you've ever loved someone and waited too long to say it, this book is for you.
