Chapter Twenty-Nine

Hinata's P.O.V.:

With a heavy heart, I walk up the familiar doorstep... To stand in front of the familiar door... To press the familiar doorbell...

How long has it been? It's been three months since I left Naruto k...

I shook my head as I chided myself...

I know this is just my inner voice but I've got to stop calling Naruto as Naruto k... I mean with that suffix... It pains me greatly but it pains him even more to hear me calling him as that... I must be considerate and think of him... I love him more than anything...

No one came to open the door and again, I pressed that familiar doorbell as I waited...

What month is it already? February? We're in our last year of university and two months away from the piano competition... Happened that the chosen date is on mine and Naruto's wedding anniversary...

"Coming! Sorry Shizuka I was in the sho..." that familiar voice called out as he opened the door fully dressed, rubbing his wet hair with a towel.

"Oh..." he stopped short before studying me up and down though his eyes don't hold a hateful glare anymore...

I'm glad...

"Hi-... Hinata... What brings you here?"

I looked down nervously as I clutched the large brown envelope to my chest.

I looked into his blue eyes and almost threw myself into his arms...

Don't Hinata... He doesn't belong to you anymore...

I chuckled softly at that thought... Funny huh how someone who said he loves you and pleads with you to never leave him yet... I'm doing the opposite...

I'm practically breaking my promise to him... I promised to stay by his side through health and sickness... I promised to never leave him after I played him that music piece...

"Hinata ch...." Naruto stopped himself but I heard it nonetheless. "You wanna say something? I can't be standing here at the door all night. I have a date with Shizuka."

My heart clenched at his words and I brushed my tears off as I blinked them away, looking back into his blue eyes.

"I'm here to drop this..." I whispered hoarsely as I held out the brown envelope with both hands.

Naruto's eyes looked down at the item and looked back at me before taking the envelope.

"What's in it..." he asked.

I gave him a weak smile.

"I'm letting you go..."

Naruto's blue eyes widened in shock.

"Wh-what..."

"You heard me right Naruto... I'm letting you go... Those are divorce papers and I've already signed them. No one knows of my decision except myself and you... So once you sign the papers the divorce will immediately take effect because I've been planning this..."

*~*

Naruto's P.O.V.:

My throat went dry when I heard that...

Well this is what I've been wanting right?

Somehow deep in my heart I know this is not right...

My friends and cousins have left me ever since I started dating Shizuka... Even pops has been avoiding me... Except for teme... Teme persisted to stay with me and everytime we meet, he always insists that Hinata is the right girl for me...
