Chapter One
"SHATTERED Hinata!"
*.
"Please come home early Naruto-kun." Hinata softly pleaded her husband who is in the other line of the phone.
"I'll try Hinata, I can't promise though; there are lots of things to do here in the office. Plus Shikamaru is on leave so there are more things for me to do than usual." Naruto explained as Hinata can imagine him signing papers and looking at new reports.
"Just make sure that you'll come home early please. I really got an important matter to discuss with you." She said.
"Hmmm.. Okay Ill really try. And hey! Don't forget to eat lunch okay? You basically throw up everything we've eaten this breakfast." Naruto said with an evident voice of concern.
Hinata's lips draws a loving smile hearing his worried voice for her.
"I will. Bye! I Love You."
"Love yah too!"
As she ended her conversation with her husband, Hinata can't help but smiled at herself.
Finally the moment she's been wanting is here. She knows Naruto would be eccentric as she is after she'll tell him of the good news tonight.
They've been married for almost a year now and hopefully this blessing would be the start of the good welfare of their relationship.
Not that they had a bad one, it's just that she believe that the relationship they have with one another is plainly one sided on her part.
It's always have been one sided, but she didn't care as long as she can be with him, walking together with him, sleeping and waking beside him, eating together and most of all breathing the same air as him is enough for her.
Even when sometimes he mumbles another name in his sleep. A name Hinata had always envied. The name of his long-time friend Sakura.
Sakura Haruno was one of their school most popular girl and on the date list of every guy in school. And one of those guys was Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki is the sole heir of Konoha Academy, Konoha High and Konoha University-A school known for great martial arts and excellence students that both excels in academics, sports and martial arts.
Naruto is also the heir to Konoha Hospital, the Konoha malls and parks and the Konoha's grand sports arenas. Making Naruto Uzumaki as the richest kid at the age of 2.
His parents died a month after his 2nd birthday because of a tragic car accident. He was been under the care of his Godfather Jiraiya who also took good care of the family businesses.
Due to him unable to grow up with his parents Naruto become quite a hand during his elementary, high school and college days, since he's always been pulling pranks and picking fight with his long time self-proclaim rival Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke is her best friend who had been the only one in school who doesn't mind her stuttering problem and being a nervous freak.
Sasuke is the only sole survivor when his entire family was massacred when they were in 2nd grade. From that day on Hinata had been Sasuke's best friend, since she knows Sasuke needed someone to be with after such tragedy.
When her father enrolled her in Konoha High school to follow the footstep of her genius cousin Neji, Sasuke followed and applied as well, resulting for Konoha girls to transform into a wild bunch of fan girls. And one of his infamous fan girls were Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno.
Hinata smiled at her thoughts as she recall the time when Ino and Sakura had cornered her in the bathroom to ask if she is their Sasuke-kun's girlfriend. Luckily the girls aren't that crazy as how she pictured them out to be, she became friends with them after they realize how scared she was when they got her cornered. Instead they pity her as they realize that it wasn't her first time getting cornered and asked about Sasuke.
Of course that wasn't the first, she was been traumatized from their previous school since the girls bullies her because of her closeness with Sasuke.
As Sakura and Ino became her friends, other girls have different story. They've been bullying her just like the ones before.
One day as she was having her cleaning duty, a group of girls had cornered her in the classroom and hits her, beating her nonstop.
Thankfully an unexpected knight came to her rescue. He was one of the popular guys in school who rivals Sasuke in everything, the one they always called the most unpredictable student and he is no one than any other than Naruto Uzumaki.
Because of his reputation as the sole heir, the girls stop from bullying her as he impose a rule that anyone who would bully her again will be expelled. Naruto came to her rescue that day and Hinata would never forget when he smiles at her, trying to make her feel comfortable as he took good care of her wounds and bruises. His smile had warm Hinata's heart and making her feel safe.
At that time Sasuke came rushing towards her, seeing her bruises had made him punched Naruto so suddenly. Thinking that Naruto had something to do with it and then a fight ensued between the two as she scream for Sasuke to stop, explaining to him what happen and how Naruto had save her.
Since then Sasuke and Naruto surprisingly became good friends. They still keep pestering one another though but Hinata had noticed how they treat each other as brothers as time went by.
And as time went by during their high school days her feelings for Naruto grows from admiration to love. She admired him so much and thus she supports everything he does. She always had it a customary to make a bentou box for Naruto- a separate one from Sasuke, as he seems to only have ramen everyday, which makes her worried for his health.
Her circle of friends grows as well, there's Ino Yamanaka -one of Sasuke's fangirl whose family owns a well-known flower shop in the city, there's the black haired guy named Sai who somehow kinda like Sasuke, there's Shikamaru Nara who top the school ranking exams when he does nothing in school but sleep, there's Chouji Akimichi who loves to eat an eat all you can food, Kiba Inuzaka who had strangely developed a crush on her and tries to flirt with her sometimes though she never been offended by him ,there's Shino Aburame who is reserve than Sasuke and there's Sakura Haruno, Naruto's bestfriend who is obsessed with Sasuke and Hinata's rival in love, as Naruto is hopelessly has a crush on Sakura.
Though Sakura always brushed him off, Naruto never stopped from pursuing her, she felt a strong jealousy towards Sakura but she never act out those feelings towards her.
Sakura always brushed Naruto off most especially when Sasuke is around. Hinata thinks that's the reason why Naruto have a friendly rivalry towards Sasuke then, since Sakura has always have an eyes towards the young Uchiha..
Sasuke however shows no interest on Sakura, well he never did look at girls with interest as far as Hinata can tell so imagine her surprise when they were in college in Konoha University and Sasuke and Sakura became a couple.
She was happy for Sakura back then but felt bad for Naruto since he was left heartbroken. Thus their friendships had been stained.
Hinata remembers the time when Naruto would skip classes and lock his self in his room all day. Hinata had gathered all her courage to bring Naruto back to life at that time. It took her a week to convince Naruto to come back to school.
Hinata tried her hardest for Naruto to never crossed path with Sasuke and Sakura in school but she could never do such an impossible thing as they were always have the tradition of eating lunch together, and then Naruto came back from being depressed seeing Sasuke and Sakura sitting beside each other for lunch.
Seeing Naruto being depressed had Hinata's heart shattered into tiny pieces and it was never in her plan on that day to confess her feelings to Naruto but everything pour out from her as she took the courage to tell him how she really feel for him. Even to the point of asking Naruto to forget about Sakura and have her instead even if he doesn't love her and would never returned her feelings.
That faithful day had changed everything in their life. Naruto asked her out and despite feeling bad that Naruto would only have her as a replacement of Sakura, Hinata still took the chance even if she might be called selfish, because somehow she prayed and hoping that perhaps Naruto would learn to love her and that Naruto would learn to forget about Sakura.
Their friendship had slowly returned to normal as she and Naruto became a couple joining Sasuke and Sakura during lunch. Somehow Naruto seems to forget about Sakura and Hinata wanted to believe that his feelings towards Sakura had already faded.
"Lady Hinata were here."
Her thoughts came to stop hearing Ko's words after he stopped the car in front of a huge gate.
"Thank you so much Ko." She said politely.
"There's no need to thank me Lady Hinata. I'm glad to be of service for you despite you being married now. I'm happy to still be given the chance of serving you."
"ohhh Ko." She smiled warmly towards her most trusted servant when she was still in the Hyuga estate.
Since Hinata just learned how to drive recently Naruto had a strong order that she should not drive the car all by herself. Ko would always be called by Naruto to drive her safely when he can't seem to do it by himself because of his job as the Konoha's Chairman and CEO.
When Naruto's godfather Jiraiya died from a cancer 2 years ago, Naruto had to sit on his family business as the sole heir.
"Will you send everyone my greetings and love?"
"I will lady Hinata." Ko said as he opens the door for her politely.
*.
*.
"Everything is set!" she exclaims happily as she placed the candles on the table. She mentally take note that everything needed is in the table. The food and the drinks, what missing is her man.
She eyed their wall clock. It's still early though, guess she was so excited that she had prepared everything in a fast pace without noticing it.
What there's left to do is to wait.
She gently seated on her side of the chair and tries to practice her words when she tell him the good news tonight.
She just wish Naruto would really come home early.
*.
Hinata can feel a gentle touch on her shoulders as she had took the pleasure of taking a nap while waiting for her husband.
"Hinata? I'm home"
At the sound of his voice Hinata opens her eyes and gently rubs it.
"Welcome home Naruto-kun." She greeted as she stood up from her chair as Naruto took the pleasure of hugging her as he always does when he arrives from home. "What time is it?"
"It's almost midnight. I'm sorry I took so long. I doze off from the office." Naruto said apologetically as Hinata pouted because of his lame excuse.
"What? I really doze off. You can ask Sakura-chan. She's the one who woke me up." Naruto said while eyeing on the foods on the table.
Hinata shook her head a little trying to stop her mind from thinking something not good from what Naruto had just said.
Sakura would happen to be there in his office of course since he is one of the Medical Doctors in Konoha Hospital and one of the Medical Teacher in Konoha University.
"The foods are already cold maybe I can reheat them. It will take a while." She said when realizing Naruto was eyeing on the food. He must be hungry.
"Nah it's okay! I'm not hungry."
"Wh-what? You have your dinner already?"
"Yeah, with Sakura-chan, she brought me food in the office after all its already time for us to go to bed." He said and gently pulled her to follow him on the stairs going to their room.
Sakura had brought him food in the office? And Sakura is a married person now!
Why the hell would she bring a food on her husband when she should be bringing those to Sasuke?
As Naruto is about to take the first step on the stairs Hinata had let go of his grasp. Naruto was taken aback a little by her action.
"What is it Hinata?"
Hinata bit her lower lip trying to hold a little emotion. She can feel her body trembles from holding such emotion.
"E-even if you don't want to eat the food I prepared." She started while her eyes are fixed on her slipper. "M-maybe per-perhaps y-you want to hear what I-I want t-to say."
Seems like Naruto had a second thought if he wanted to answer her or not since he become quiet. "Okay let's hear it ttebayo" he said sounding so tired.
"ahmmm… y-you s-see Na-Naruto-kkun I'm a- I'm ppp" she can't utter the words.. why can't she? Well maybe perhaps there's an emotion wanting to burst out and she tries to hold. Seems like Naruto isn't looking forward to hear her news tonight.
"Well maybe we can lay that off tonight neh Hinata?, I'm tired and maybe we can talk about that first thing in the morning." He said as he let out a large yawn.
"b-but I-I wanted to say i-it now!" she insisted and finally raised her head to look at him.
Naruto look at her intensely as if observing her. "Let's do it tomorrow, you seem not feeling well Hinata and if-"and his phone beeps stopping him from continuing with his words. Naruto answers the phone without a second thought. "Sakura-chan?"
Hinata holds her breath hearing that name coming from his mouth. How many times did she hear that name tonight from him?
"Okay I'll be there right away!" Naruto said with a worried face." Just wait for me there and I'll get you okay?"
"Wh-what happen?" She asked. Somehow it feels like an emergency. Calling someone almost midnight sounds like an emergency especially when that someone is a married man.
"Sakura-chan and Sasuke teme seems to have a marital problems ttebayo!" Naruto said as he took his jacket he hanged on the sofa. "I'll go and get Sakura, you can go to bed ahead." He said while tying his shoes this time.
Go to bed ahead?
Hinata placed her hands on her chest trying to suppress the emotion from bursting out.
First Naruto came home late claiming to have taken an accidental nap in the office and which happens to have a little reunion with Sakura?
Secondly, he didn't try to eat any of her cooked food because he had consumed Sakura's prepared meal for him.
Lastly, he doesn't want to hear what she is about to say cause he is tired but he do have an energy and the will to come out this hour to comfort Sakura with her issues.
As Naruto opens the door Hinata couldn't take it anymore.
"Naruto-Kun!" she yelled his name at him causing Naruto to stop on his trance and look at her with a surprise look written on his face.
"I want you to listen to what I want to say first!" She commanded. "Hear me out will you."
Naruto was taken aback by the way she said those word. He just eyed at her.
"I'm tired of you being so involved with Sakura-san! Just for once try to remember that you are married now at least have a decency to-"
"So you mean you want me to abandon a friend?" Naruto cut her off and by the looks of it he isn't enjoying this conversation "Hinata, Sakura is my friend and your friend as well. She needs me and I should be there for her."
"And what about me Naruto-kun?" She cried, letting those tears that she's been hiding for so long to fall freely.
"What do you mean Hinata?"
"What about me? When will you be there fully for me?"
"Hinata I-" and his phone beep again.
And Hinata knows it was Sakura for sure.
"I'm on my way" Naruto said while holding the phone on his ears. "We'll have this conversation when you're feeling okay Hinata." He said and then he closed the door leaving a broken, trembling and SHATTERED Hinata.
Did he just leave her? For Sakura?
She let out a scream, the loudest one she can muster as scenes from their days together flashed like a speed of light in her memories.
When they graduated college, almost a year ago, Naruto unexpectedly had asked her hand in marriage. It was like a dream come true to her, being asked by the man she ever loved.
But every dream has a nightmare as well and now she is left Shattered by that nightmare.
Who was she kidding? When they got married Hinata knows she never had Naruto fully to herself. It's like she shared him with Sakura.
And the worst part is when they have their first night together in their honeymoon, Naruto had called Sakura's name on his sleep while she lay there beside him. She cried herself on the bathroom that night.
And now she had enough. She gently wipes her tears away. This would be the last time shell cry because of him. Cause she will make sure of that.
Too bad unlike Sakura she had nobody to call. She can't call Neji because he is having his honeymoon with his wife Tenten, she can't call Ko cause Ko would only make it worse by telling her father, nor she can't call any of their friends cause she doesn't want them to pry on their Shattered relationship. And most of all she can't call Sasuke. Since he and Sakura became a couple in their college years Sasuke become distant to her and then before she knows it the one she called bestfriend become a stranger.
She doesn't need to rely to anybody this time. She will take good care of herself and for the sake of the other life that is inside of her.
*.
*.
Not taking that much Hinata took only the things she needed to start a better life without Naruto in the picture. Taking the car that her father had sent on her birthday as his gift to her, Hinata started the engine as the sign of her starting of a new life ahead.
She drove without an exact destination to go, all she know is that she had to leave Konoha City if she wanted a new life for her and for the little one.
As Hinata passed the border between Konoha and Mibuka City she burst into tears as she is leaving everything behind her.
*.
Hours passed as she continues to drive without thinking where she would go.
The clouds are dark, the wind blows tremendously, thunder and lightning ruled the sky and the rain falls like how her tears falls from her eyes.
If only the rain can washed all her pain away she would chased after it till she feel numb.
She badly needed to escape. Escape from the painful reality.
Escape from the Shattered life she's having.
Is she being selfish with this? Is this the right thing for her to do?
She is tired, tired of being selfless. Her selflessness had her Shattered into millions of pieces.
She doesn't want this emotion flowing on her system. She want to be numb so she won't have to cry anymore.
..
The road is getting harder to travel with,
with heavy rains and darkness ahead is what all she can see when suddenly a loud crash had halted her escaped and before she knew her life is total darkness.
*.
There you have it..
