Chapter 2
Sasuke woke up by midnight. He knew what he did but didn't know what he felt. He didn't like it, but tried to believe otherwise. He categorized it as just different. He did not wake up today in his bed with his wife.
Suddenly, he remembers Hinata waiting for him, or so he believes. She must be worried. So, without any second thoughts he stood from the bed, got his clothes and prepared to leave… but was stopped.
Karin woke up making a tight grip on his left wrist. If this had happened before, he would have shoved her hand off, but this time it is different.
"Sasuke… would you come back later?" she mumbled looking at him. Sasuke seemed to look at her for awhile, contemplating the answer he should give her. He just answered her with a curt nod.
Sasuke arrived home seeing a sleeping Hinata. She was sitting on the chair, with her face on the dining table. Dinner is there remaining untouched. Hinata then woke up.
"You're late… you should have told me…" she said with a stifled yawn
"… I was on a mission." A lie, of course, how could he tell his wife that I'm late because I was with another woman, pleasuring myself knowing full well that you're waiting for me? He might be a bastard, an asshole or whatever you name him, but he never even once hurt Hinata. Not physically, not verbally.
"Oh… did you eat already? Should I heat dinner?" Hinata asked standing up, putting the food in a tray.
"No, I'll just have a bath. You should go to bed first. I might take long." Sasuke said, and then walked towards the bathroom.
"Alright…" she then placed the foods in the refrigerator, and went to bed.

The morning Hinata woke up, it was the same scenery; Alone in the bed, no husband in sight, a note. Oh, at least this time there's a note. It was placed carefully on the table
So that it would be very much visible at first sight. Hinata read the note.
Hinata,
I'll be home late. I have an urgent mission.. Don't bother making dinner for me, and don't wait for me
Sasuke
This should be no big deal since it is a mission, but when it happened the next day, the day after, then the next and the next…
Should that bother her? That's no big deal right?
Sure, but after long, the little notes got smaller, the reasons were also getting duller. Till all the note says is "Don't wait for me."
Hinata trusts her husband. When Sasuke says that he's in a mission, Hinata believes it. It just so happened one night, when Hinata badly misses Sasuke and couldn't sleep did she catch a scent in him. It was a strong scent of mixed perfume and sweat, but most of all; it has a strong familiar smell. The smell she can remember and never forget. That night, Hinata found out that Sasuke is cheating on her.
What do you do when you catch your husband, or the man you trust and never had doubted for even a moment cheating on you? Do you start to hate that person? Never trust him again?
No. Instead, you cling to the belief that maybe you're wrong. Rather than mistrusting him, you start to doubt yourself.
This is what's happening inside of Hinata's head. Hinata is shy, timid… and weak. She's like a glass… so frail, so delicate, and so… breakable. That night, Hinata tried to hide her sobs, although thinking she must be wrong, she couldn't stop the tears from falling. Sasuke did not sleep beside her this night either. It's been three weeks when this started to happen. They had no contact other than the small notes Hinata reads every morning. Sasuke comes home very late and leaves very early. He must be dieing because of the loads of work he's doing. Or so she thought till tonight.
Hinata clings to the thought of Sasuke is not cheating on her. That she must be wrong. So the next day when she read the little note on the table saying "Don't wait for me" had she finally decided.
You see, there are more other ways to know the truth. Hinata is a byakugan user, she tried using it to find her husband, but Byakugan has certain limitations. It can not go beyond a certain point of distance.
Hinata did not have to ask Sasuke about anything. So today, she's finally coming out of the Uchiha compound after two months. Instead of waiting for her husband and taking care of the house as she always did, she's going out.
Today, she's going to the Hokage tower to somehow, lessen the missions for Uchiha Sasuke.
She went outside of the Uchiha compound welcoming the sunlight with a smile on her face.
Little did she know that that smile would be her last real smile as Uchiha Hinata.
