Forever Entwined
Chapter 3
Subaru Sumeragi was feeling restless. It has been 3 months since his return to the family home and he was not used to life without work. He was not allowed to go on the assignment before they cleared him capable of the work.
Looking out at the surrounding, the peacefulness is bothering him. Or rather, the sight of the attendants taking his children out for a walk outside that is bothering him. The attendant carried the twins in their arms, walking around to let them feel the afternoon's fresh air.
The boy was as always sleeping soundly while the girl was looking around attentively. It seems that the household is now revolving their life around the children. Subaru did not know what to think of them, his own children. Ever since they were released from the hospital, he looked at the children only from a far.
Ever since the talk of the children's DNA, that subject has never been brought up again. Both the doctor and his grandmother decided it is best if the subject is not discussed ever again. His grandmother then changed the subject to naming the children.
The naming was decided by his grandmother as he did not want anything to do with the children. The boy was named Shinobu Sumeragi and the girl was named Sukiya Sumeragi. A slight movement to his right alerted him to an intruder to his peaceful moment. He turns to see an old attendant of his grandmother bowing in respect to him.
"Subaru-san. The former head called for you. She asked for you to be in the family room." With the message delivered, he bowed and left Subaru alone. It was not necessary to wait for a reply. Subaru turn back to the scene that disturbs his heart so.
The sight of his children which makes him feel so complicated inside, it is better if he were to stay away from them. He turned his back to leave for the family room. Little did he notice that a little girl's gaze was focused at his turned back. She probably felt that she will not see her father again for a long time after.
Subaru and his grandmother were left alone in the family room when the last of the elder members left the room. They stared at each other silently. Finally, his grandmother looked away.
"Are you sure about this, Subaru-kun? To leave the estate and not care for your own children?"
"Hmm… I will do my work and come back once in a while. But other than that, there is nothing I can do for them. Grandmother has already found some help in taking care of them so I leave their rearing to you."
"But they might need their father's guide."
"… I can't, Grandmother. I just can't…" Subaru whispered this softly to his grandmother as he paused at the door. Without looking back, he left the room planning to leave the family estate.
The former head looked out the window thinking troubled thoughts. She had a feeling that Subaru's decision will have a strong impact on the children's future. Bowing her head, she prayed for his and the children's well being as their future. Hoping that nothing bad will happen to their family in the years to come.
The End
