Tuba and Her Magic world [English version]

Chapter 01

The little girl woke up from her sleep, the book in her lap fell to the floor. She was surprised by what she found. A small beetle flew in front of her. Her brow furrowed slightly, with face filled with curiosity. 'Is this real? Eyes nose ears. Beetles display humans.' She rubbed her eyes, not believing on her eyes at the moment, she fumbled with her glasses trying to fit them on her eyes. But the vision becomes more blurry with the glasses. She took off her glasses and her vision became clearer. She looked at ladybug in front of her and looked back at her glasses. "Are my eyes wrong or are my glasses starting to break? Hish..." She sighed. She tried to pinch her arm. "Aww..." She screamed in pain.

The ladybug looked up and flew to match its facial features with the little girl. Ladybug noticed the behavior of the little girl in front of her, which she thought looked ridiculous. The little girl moved backwards, the ladybug moved forward.

"Stop, don't move, stay there!" Ladybug ordered. "I always hear your soft voice, asking for a wish every night, and now I'm in front of you, why are you so surprised by my existence."

The little girl could only listen silently. "I am...?" She stammered. "I am begged the fairies to grant my wish, not begged a ladybug like you." She tried to explain.

fairy couldn't believe what she heard from her mouth, "What... ladybug? I'm a ladybug?" The confused fairy felt that her self-esteem had fallen and was compared to a ladybug.

"Yeah, you red-capped ladybug with little wings." The little girl explained with a slightly suppressed voice.

Fairy then took out a mirror from her small pocket. "Hiss..... I changed my form wrong." Immediately the fairy in the form of a beetle took out her magic wand and changed her form into a silver butterfly substitute. "I'm your little fairy." The little elf smiled warmly. "Do you sleep well?" asked the little fairy.

The little girl nodded and then displayed the appearance of a fairy in front of her. She admired the figure of the fairy who looked beautiful in her eyes now.

"Did you sleep well? Fairy asked again and still didn't get a response from the little girl in front of her." Why are you just silent? Did you sleep well?" The mysterious guest repeated for the third time.

"Yes, of course I slept soundly before your presence! But who are you? Why are you here?" The little girl spoke.

The fairy, flew around the little girl several times and finally landed on the little girl's left shoulder while playing with her feet casually. She leaned into earshot and whispered softly, "I'm Shawl, your imaginary fairy. Do you remember now? I'm your painting in your coloring book. You called me Shawl after the fairy you painted. I love the name you gave me, it's beautiful."

The little girl was lost in thought, she tried to remember what she drew in the sketchbook she got from a foreign old man in front of the school gate. In her free time she often draws fairy figures. She really liked drawing fairy figures, I remember it now. She smiled faintly, "That's the name my parents gave me, Shawl is my last name.

"May I know the meaning of the name Shawl?" Fairy asked curiously.

"I don't know exactly what Shawl means, but according to my father the meaning of Shawl is a girl who is the center of attention, has sincere feelings."

And what's your name little girl?" Shawl asked back.

"I am Tuba, Tuba Mushtaq Shawl." Tuba explained.

"What a beautiful name," said Shawl. "But why do you always look gloomy, unlike your name?" Shawl's eyebrows furrowed as if curious about Tuba figure.

Tuba sat back comfortably cross-legged, holding her favorite fairy tale book.

"Who knows. I'm tired of being the oldest child in this house, my mother always tells me to because I'm already big. Mom always told me to give in to my younger siblings, because I was also the eldest of my younger siblings. I was also forbidden from making loud noises with my father, because I was the oldest. I have to set a good example. But I'm 12 years old, I'm also a child, why do I always give in to my little sister. Why does mom always force me to show good behavior."

Tuba looked forward with a blank gaze, "I miss being silly without being afraid of someone imitating me. Now I have to pay attention to every behavior I show. I don't really hate her either, she's an adorable little sister, but don't tell me what to do, I love her too. Let me love her in my way. I also want to be naughty sometimes like other children. I hate being in the middle, according to my mom and dad, I should give way to my little sister!"

Silence approached for a moment....

"If time goes back in time, I want to be born after my older sister was born. I can vent my anger, I want an older sister who loves me and understands me like a friend. Can I ask for that, Shawl?" Tuba complained and begged. Tuba poured out all his heart to Shawl. She felt comfortable telling her stories.

Shawl records all Tuba complaints. She digested it silently now. Stopped flapping her wings, and landed on the fairy tale book that was on Tuba's lap at the moment. "You know something Tuba? Don't be jealous of situations you know little about. Don't be jealous when people around you get more attention, be happy for them, be patient and know that your time will come."

"I will wait for that time. One day I will be big enough that no one can order me around, I will live in a big old city enjoying old paintings. Enjoying the smell of old buildings. Enjoying old paintings." Tuba's eyes sparkled cheerfully expressing his hope.

Knock... Knock...

The sound of a knock on the bedroom door from outside startled Tuba. Tuba jumped in surprise and turned towards the voice "Looks like we have a guest, you have to hide!" I don't want people at home to see you. Tuba asked with a panicked face.

"They won't see me!" Shawl replied casually without paying attention to the circumstances around her. "I'm now in your subconscious, okay, it's time for you to wake up. But let me ask for one wish?" Shawl asked while flying casually to and fro around the entire room.

Tuba tilted her head up and down looking right and left following Shawl. "Can you be quiet for a moment. I'm a little dizzy following you."

Knock... Knock ...

The sound of knocking on the door was heard once again. "Sister... Can I come in?" This time a cute little child's voice interrupted. "Hurry up and say something before my sister Alena arrives." Tuba's voice sounded panicked.

The corners of Shawl's mouth raised, "Please draw me in red clothes in your sketchbook. I like red." Shawl blinked, and disappeared as the bedroom door opened.

Tuba's breath held for a moment, she froze when Aleena appeared from behind the door. She didn't want Aleena to see this.

Aleena approached Tuba, touched tuba's arm with the tip of her cute index finger. "Pst... Pst... Didi wake up, mother is calling you to enjoy lunch, come downstairs quickly!" Aleena whispered softly, trying to wake her sister who was fast asleep.

Note: Didi is a nickname for the older sister in the family.

Tuba had not yet woken up from her sleep. Alena pursed her lips because she didn't get a response from Tuba. This time Aleena directed her mouth to Tuba's ear. "Didi... Didi wake up!" She whispered softly once again.

Tuba gasped, she woke up from her sleep. She looked at Aleena with her typical waking up face, "Oh, hi Aleena."

Aleena, a 5 year old little girl, has a different appearance to herself. Alena is darker and fuller. Her hair is dark while Tuba has golden brown hair.

"Hi didi," said Aleena with a full smile showing her white teeth. Tuba cupped Alena's cheeks anxiously with both palms. "Go downstairs first, didi has to do something up." Tuba asked gently.

Aleena nodded smiling and immediately went downstairs cheerfully, "Mother... Mother... Didi will come down soon." Alena's screams were heard from the stairs corridor.

Tuba got up from her lazy sofa, looked for her drawing sketchbook, opened the desk drawer, "Found... My drawing sketch." Tuba opened the first sheet which had a picture of a ladybug. She scrolled again to the next page and saw the figure of the fairy she had just seen was exactly the same, with silver wings and a green uniform.
