149 Chapter 2: Swan, Nishioka Sawa

Sawa woke up in her from the soft couch in her beautiful home. "Oh! Abel is not that I don't want to tell anyone but….". She paused as the memories of this world and everything completely came to her.

Nishioka Sawa (Mana) is the youngest daughter of the Takata family she was forced to use a different family name by her parents who were embarrassed by her appearance. They were a glamorous family Afterall who all had exceptional beauty. While Sawa was an overweight girl with freckles. Despite that Sawa was in a stable relationship with Komura Takashi, they were a happy couple. But then Sawa's father drought in his Illegitimate daughter whose mother died, Takata Chiho. A girl whose appearance didn't match her real personality.

But, nonetheless, with looks like hers, she was able to win the hearts of most of their family, her own mother included. Once Chiho set her sights on Takashi she instantly wanted him, since, he was handsome and with a powerful family. But Takashi's sister Komura Mako was having none of that. Destroying any chance Chiho could make to win Takashi's affection.

Not being able to take this anymore, Chiho plotted and successfully killed Mako all the while putting the blame on Sawa.

Sawa pleaded and cried for someone to believe her. But, no one did not even Takashi. The evidence was so damming, Chiho played her cards right after all. With the help, they're her father who was a judge, and a police officer and Chiho herself as a witness as well as faked evidence. Her father sentenced her to five years.

Her parents never really cared for her anyway. They only told her that she was being disowned and that they were giving her a large sum of money. They would never contact her again.

In Sawa's memories, she watched Takashi and Chiho's wedding from the Tv screen in her Jail Cell and remembered sobbing.

Sawa stood up and looked into herself in the mirror. She had been out of prison for what seemed like a decade, the pain and suffering she had in those days are finally gone. She was no longer the same person, despite the harsh weather she bloomed and came out stronger.

She was way thinner then she used to be, Showing off some great curves. Her freckles had long disappeared and her now clear pure skin highlighted her brown button and softly flowing brown curls

Her parents were wrong; Sawa may not be a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. But she was still beautiful in her own.

Thanks to a program that allowed her to finish college and even retain a master's in business (She used the good-bye money her family gave her to pay the expenses) She now has a master's in business and has applied to a cosmetic that started out the as little store in her hometown. She always used to go before she was sent to jail.

Sawa opened the door to a bedroom that was decorated in a beautiful little blue color with little glow in the dark space-ships. She heard the soft breathing sounds of the four-year-old little boy sleeping he was holding tightly to his teddy bear.

She was thankful that even if her life were Hell, her baby boy would be safe. She closes the door softly and looks at the view of the city she had, it wasn't a great view, but it was hers. And it represented her freedom. She watched the glow of the morning sunshine rise, half of it was blocked by the building of the apartment complex next over.

She started to Sing

I feel like new sunglasses, like a brand-new pair of jeans ~ ♪♫♬

I feel like taking chances, I feel a lot like seventeen

I feel like windows rolled down, new city, streets and cabs

I feel like anything can happen, laughing,

You take me right back, when we were kids

Never thought I'd feel like this

Like when I close my eyes and don't even care if anyone sees me dancing

Like I can fly, and don't even think of touching the ground

Like a heartbeat skip, like an open page

Like a one way trip on an airplane

It's the way that I feel when I'm with you, brand new

Brand new ♪♫♬

Sawa giggled to herself

"Mommy!"

Sawa saw little Haru walk slowly towards while rubbing his eyes and dragging his stuffed teddy baby.

"My little Spring, did I wake up," Sawa said joyfully as she picked up her Spring up. And sat him on his chair in the kitchen.

"Can I have some Chocolate-milk?" he said. "please."

"Sure thing, Spring, ♫" she said singing as she handed Haru his chocolate milk.

Got up before the alarm, Sunlight replacing the stars ~♫♬

Finding my phone in the dark

Putting my life on restart, So many places to go

Asking what's best? I don't know

Each hour's an hour You make So I know it's going to be straight ~♬♪

"Ha-ha" Sawa laughed. While her son watched his mother dance and sing he couldn't help but smile as he put his chocolate down and joined his silly mother.

After dropping off Haru at his daycare, Sawa continued to sing herself all the way to work.

May's Cosmetics

"Good Morning Ms. Nishioka" she heard from her co-workers to the left and right of her. They joined her as she walked into the building and her office as the managing advertisement director.

"Good Morning, Ms. Nishioka," her two assistants said to her.

"Good Morning Ms.Henmi and Ms.Ando~♫" Sawa responded happily with a melodic tone.

"The president wanted to see you this morning," Ando said

"It's about the contract with Rising entertainment" Sawa stopped and pulled on her serious tone.

"Yes, I know you were against working with them but President Kagiyama still insists. So, he wants to talk to you about it." Henmi said as she fiddle through files gave some to Ando so she could make copies

"Roger, I head their right now," Sawa said walking off and returned to her happy-go-lucky self as dance and sang through the hall.

Don't think about it, just move your body

Listen to the music, Sing, oh, ey, oh~♪

Just move those left feet. Go ahead, get crazy

Anyone can do it, Sing, oh, ey, oh ~♪

She giggled again as she opened the door to the president's office. Forgetting to knock.

"Good Morning, President Kagiyama. Henmi said-" Sawa paused and went pale when she saw her good-friends guest.

As the familiar handsome face of her Ex-fiancé sat across from President Kagiyama, with an annoyed look.

'Ah! So much for a drama free life.'
