Chapter TWO: "SHATTERED Dream"

*.

.

13 years later….

"Chairman!"

..

A smile appears on his lips as he heard the approaching voice of a young teenage Uchiha girl in his office.

"Is it him?" the young teenage girl asked as Naruto is currently talking with someone in his phone.

He smiles as a response and the girls eyes twinkles with excitement.

"Hey Teme, as much as I want to hear your report about the continuing construction of Konoha High in there, there's someone special who really wants to talk to you ttebayo." Naruto said and handed the phone to the young girl.

"Papa!... Yes!. …Of course I'm still the number one. I beat all of them so easily….Yes papa!... I miss you so much as well …. Yes! I will don't worry! …. Bye!"

"Seems like you and your father had a good talk." Naruto said as the teenage girl smiled so widely at him.

"Not much! Still different when he is here Chairman."

"You don't have to worry Sarada-chan, the Branches of Konoha in Tsukikure province will be finished in no time and your father will be home for sure ttebayo"

Sarada let out a small smile. Somehow in the girls heart she knows his father wont still be coming home for now.

She observed the inside of the chairmans' office and found something disturbing that he tries to hide on his pile of paper works.

"Chairman! How many times that I have to tell you that drinking alcohol isn't good for you! My mom will be furious again at you if she'll find out."

"Shhhh… it's our little secret for now Sarada okay?" he pleaded.

"And beside it's only for today I promise. Since today is…." And he stopped.

Sarada can see the sadness in Naruto's eyes as he look at the picture of a woman in his table. It's a picture of a beautiful woman who Sarada never meet before but only knows from the picture that the Chairman and her father had.

Sarada could remember when she was 10 that she wanted to pull a prank towards her father. She went inside his private office wanting to scare him off that's when she stumbled upon a beautiful portrait of a woman in his office.

It wasn't her mom and her father had kept the portrait well by hanging it on his wall. But it wasn't just the portrait, in his cabinets there were tons of picture of the same woman but this time she's younger.

She became jealous of that woman that she wanted to confront her father at that time. She went barging in his meeting with the chairman demanding for an answer on who that woman was. When she showed them the picture, Sarada could never forget the looks of the Chairmans face.

He was crying as he took the younger picture of the woman from her hands.

It was then that it was explained to her by her mother who that woman was. She was the deceased wife of the chairman and her fathers' best friend.

Every year the chairman would drink an alcohol on her death anniversary. Before her mother had told her that the Chairman would drink nonstop day by day when his wife died in a tragic car accident 13 years ago.

"Okay then. I won't tell mom, but make sure you won't end up drunk."

"I have high tolerance." He grins at the young Uchiha.

..


As the Uchiha girl left his office. Naruto's grin and smile fade away. He took the alcohol that he hid from the pile of papers he had.

He took Hinata's Picture on his other hand and like every year on her death anniversary Naruto feels like dying a hundred of times as he remembers the tragic event that night.

He came home after sending Sakura to spend a night in a hotel to clear her head off after her fight with Sasuke.

And the irony about it is that he too had a fight with Hinata. One that really had took him by surprise.

And as he went out of his car Naruto had a bad feeling seeing the garage open where Hinata's car usually parked. He quickly went inside the house and was greeted by a quiet home.

He searched for her and when his hunch kicks in he called her father and her trusted servant Ko if Hinata pays them a visit, but no one not even her family knows where she is.

At that time Naruto know he messed up pretty bad.

What if Hinata is leaving him? Or soon he had to sign a divorce paper.

Naruto drove all over Konoha at that day looking for her. He went into their friends but no one knows where she is.

When he called Sakura and asked if Hinata contacted her but still nothing. When Sakura suggested that Sasuke might know he called the Teme even if he doesn't want to talk to him that time, not after his fight and issues with Sakura.

When he meet up with Sasuke and told him that Hinata was missing. He receives a knuckle punch from him, blaming him if something bad would happen to Hinata which Naruto prayed so hard for Hinata's safety.

He tried calling her phone but he can't have a hold of her.

He filed a missing person case after 24 hours of Hinata's disappearance.

The idea that Hinata had left him had always been in his mind which his heart can't accept.

A day of her went missing turns into days, day's turns into week and week turns into month. The Hyuga had been so furious and thus they almost had cut their ties with the school if not for Neji to intervene with Hiashi's decision.

After two months of looking for her, a private investigator which Naruto had hired had found a car accident case that happens on the day of Hinata's disappearance in Kazekawa City.

The car has no plate cause according to the police it was been robbed. There were blood on the driver seat but no body was ever found.

When the blood from the driver seat was taken to the crime lab for DNA identification it was proven to be of Hinata's blood.

As they speculated many thoughts of her death Naruto decided to shut his self from the world. He blames his self for Hinata's disappearance and possible death. It's his fault. He knows it's his fault. He should have stayed that night. He should have stayed when she asked him to.

He was eaten by guilt for what happen to Hinata.

The woman who love him despite of his imperfections, the woman he came to love when his world crushed, his only light when everything went dark on him.

He should have explained to Hinata that night why he insisted that they should sleep instead of having her reheating their meal, because he can see clearly how Hinata looks tired at that moment.

He wanted Hinata to come along with him when Sakura was in trouble that night but he was worried of how tired she looks like since she's been being sick lately and then an argument happen that night.

But now his worries were for nothing since Hinata is long gone, it's been 13 years since she died and his regrets was that he never had the chance to fully confess his feelings to her.

He thought that showing it in his actions is enough to send her the message of how he truly cares for her, but Hinata is a fragile woman, for sure she left him thinking that he love somebody else.

True that he had feelings for Sakura in the past but he had already came to understand such feelings. Sakura was his best friend who somehow treated him as a young brother.

When Sakura came to be obsessed by liking Sasuke, he began to fear that he would lose his best friend and his sister at the same time. Resulting for him to pursue Sakura and have a rivalry with Sasuke. If it wasn't for Hinata that help him out from his depressed state that he would not realize what he truly feels for Sakura.

Drowning with guilt for everything that happens, He somehow tried committing suicide by drowning his self in the bath and be electrocuted if not for Sasuke to intervene and stopped his plan of joining Hinata in the afterlife.

At that time Sasuke had told him that if he wanted to join Hinata then he needed to do something in her memory before joining her. And thus he remembered how Hinata dream of expanding Konoha Schools not just in cities but to the small towns or provinces. That dream of her he will continue it. That dream of her that he won't allow to be SHATTERED. Cause he already shattered her life.

"Hinata." He calls her name lovingly while staring at her picture. "We'll be together soon. Just 3 weeks more to go and we will be together.'' He said as he took another gulp from his bottle. He had already decided a long time ago that he will join her once her dream for Konoha's School will be finished.

Tsukikure is the last province that will receive Konoha's education. After all he made sure that for 13 years every small towns and provinces of the nation will receive Konoha's well-known greatness and excellence.

After Tsukikure he will join her wherever she is now.

His will had already been written. Half of his estate will go to Sasuke and Sakura's daughter Sarada. And the others to their friends.

Beep! Beep!

He took his cell phone without looking at the caller ID. He knows without looking that it was only Sasuke.

"Dobe. Be here in 3 weeks' time. I mean it. Cause if you don't I'll kill you myself" Sasuke commanded without giving him a chance to respond and he hung up.

"Damn you teme." He said and a bitter smile crosses his lips. He knows why Sasuke insisted his presence to the opening of the Konoha's school in Tsukikure. It's because he knows of his plan of executing himself.

He would always say to him that his plan of killing his self will have Hinata hate him even more.

But he already hated his self as much as Hinata would hate him.

This act is selfish and evil but what is his point of living anyway?

Everything Shattered without Hinata.


..

Sarada look at the chairman sadly from the liitle opening she left on his door. His sobs and his cries crushed her little heart. Naruto has been a father figure for her when Sasuke is away for the construction of Konoha Schools.

She knows that every time the Chairman smiles at her childish antics that it really didn't came from his heart. She can feel and see the sadness in his eyes and in his smiles. He was consumed with depression.

She is aware of that since for as far as she could remember her Aunt Ino who is a Doctor and a Specialist would always pay a visit to the Chairman every now and then helping him out from his depression but nobody can seem to pull him out from it.

Even she tried as well.
