Two years ago, her mother died of breast cancer, a year later her father remarried to the Widow of Flowers.
Her stepmother did not love Anna and her sisters at all, as a result the three brothers had to live with Aunt Nuri, the sister of her late mother who bore an old virgin (unmarried woman).
All the demands of life oblige him to work hard, otherwise Raka and Rasti cannot continue school, while Aunt Nuri only open small stalls that result only enough for daily needs.
That afternoon Anna was still sitting in the room of the director of one of the famous editorial offices in South Sulawesi.

Confidence with the talent of authorship possessed led him to win in the competition "Smatch Pen Young People" last month, hope this time can get a contract so that his dream of becoming a successful writer can be realized.
A few minutes later, a man who had started graying came over, sitting in front of Anna who had been empty, followed by a beautiful secretary with a formal style, then sat down to fill the seat in front of Anna who had been empty, his blond hair was well-groomed, standing right next to Mr. Erwin's left.
"Please, Sir." Greetings Anna stood saluting.
"Yes, please sit down."
His body began to tremble, the rule of irregular breathing, facing the person who had a hard line as the Defender Activist of the Weak.
'What will this Director ask me? O Allah' Inner Anna.
"Anna Binar Bintang, good name yangvvgfdd." Said Mr. Erwin to him.
"Thank you, sir."
Despite the praise, the nervousness had not vanished from her tiny body.
"In our company, we do not want to actually contract writers, let alone writers who are beginners, We have criteria that writers must know about us." Said Mr. Erwin who is still observing the writings of Anna which has been printed on white paper.
Anna is trying to understand.
"Writing in the tabloid must have courage, be straightforward and carefully take the opportunity in the situation to be on target."
"I understand, Sir." His word.
"Oh but wait, I'll give you a chance to test, but before that, learn first about the FOLLOW-UP tabloid, after that I'll assign you a theme of what you're going to write." Said Mr. Erwin who was full of authority.
Of course anna is very happy, although not easy, but he will try, any opportunity in front of his eyes must be used as a honement for him, is not this the beginning of building his career as a writer.
"My secretary will send you a guide email from us."
The secretary threw a smile at Anna.
Anna left the room, heading for the receptionite where Sulfa was waiting for her.
"Anna, how?" Ask Sulfa.
Anna sighed, the tightness in her bated chest instantly dissipated.
"I want to be in training first."
"I guessed it .."
Anna began her steps out of the office, followed by Sulfa who carrying her laptop bag.
"This is the first time I've been confronted with the Director directly, Fa. His leg's asking for mercy."
"The director's handsome, isn't he?"
"Beautiful, but our father's age." Canda Anna ranted.
Sulfa immediately smothered Anna's mouth, though,
"Husst .. later heard here, can fail you, An."
"I'm sure, Fa. I can definitely."
"Yes, you can do it, gambatte!" Sulfa raised both of her thumbs.
"But, Fa. Can I borrow your laptop?"
Anna's facilities are still limited, typing was only borrowed his best friend's laptop, sometimes he went to the cafe to finish if Sulfa was using his laptop.
"Please, my college work is done as well."
They go to the local library to find books about reference, sulfa who choose economics majors are also writing hobbies, but that is only a hobby, but it is only a hobby, very different with Anna who hung his ideals as high as the sky as a great writer who shook Indonesia, even the World.
Anna surrounded the shelf displaying thousands of history books, her eyes fixed on one of the blue-covered books of the sea entitled "FACT REINCARNATION OF HUMAN LOVE."
But that attraction always traps him wanting to know the story behind it.
"Have you found the guidebook writing the news?" Tanya Sulfa surprised him.
"Yes, not yet." He answered while hiding the book he was holding.
"Yes, look there." Sulfa Imbuh.
This time Sulfa would protest against him again when she saw the book. As Sulfa turned around, Anna put the book into her backpack, she went back to sorting out books on literary guides.
Once they can, they go home on a motorcycle to the laundry where Anna works.
