Ana's Journey to the World's Home

chapter 8's

2003, mid-year, early August.

At the guest table Ana sees a newspaper still in the plastic but, without waiting for more time she immediately picks it up and tears the plastic that wraps the newspaper.

He saw first look at the contents of the newspaper arrived his eyes wide open by one article title plastered with large letters.

The author from Pandeglang has launched his first novel with the title MANA BIDADARI FOR ME by Ibn Adam Aviciena.

The deg!

Ana's heart trembled as she finished reading it, Ibn Adam from Cibaliung's lecture at IAIN Serang is now studying writing at Home World. The World House was pioneered by married couple Gol A Gong and Tias Tatanka from Solo women. And more surprised if the World House was pioneered in 2002, where at that time Ana was often the father behind Pandeglang and Serang.

After seeing the news, Ana looks for her father and mother wants to talk about the World House issue.

"Na, where's the World's House?" mamat asked to look at his daughter.

"In Serang, sir." Ana enthusiastically answered him.

His father just turned his head to hear Ana's innocent answer.

"Na, Serang is not rich Ranca Jaya, Serang is very broad." Mr. Mamat stroked his daughter's hair gently.

"meaning?"

"The attack was rich Pandeglang Ana. Pandeglang will have Menes, Saketi, Labuan, Tarogong, as well as Serang. Attack it there Rau market, Royal Market, Ciceri, Ciracas, now Ana yunya address Home World."

Ana heard what her father said. Yes he does not know where the full address of the World House because in the article it only mentions the World House without any address. Finally Ana resigned her desire to the World House ran aground immediately ran aground as well..Hope to enter the World House is now just a dream. (actually if only God allowed the year 2003 to enter the World House could be, because already know the World House 😊 ).

"Yes, do not enter the House of the World" said Ana.

"There must be a way." said the father while patting Ana softly.

Ana leaves the father with the back porch. Seeing his first daughter sulking Mr. Mamat shook his head, he actually wanted to support his daughter who really wanted to be a writer but how because his condition was also not appropriate let alone monthly income as a teacher, far from enough especially to buy a computer plus the internet network.

"Mom, did you borrow from the cooperative to buy a laptop?" asked Mama to look at his wife.

"Sir, don't go first. Yes even if our daughter needs it too but sister Ana also needs a fee for college, let alone Ita "said his wife sighed long.

Yes it is the same. Her son is not Ana but there are three younger siblings who are very expensive, still fortunately now Ana does not demand college. Mamat looked at his wife's face. He took the words of the woman who had accompanied him.

He seemed to take a breath, then exhaled again with his regret in his heart. A rejection from his parents. actually Mr. Mamat also wanted to see his daughter happy with the field of discussion, not Mr. Mamat did not allow his son to go no, no, because the article read by Ana did not include the exact address, she was only afraid that when Ana went there, let alone her daughter did not know the attack. (you don't know actually my computer course time often to Serang 😊 ).

Finally failed to go to the World House because after all it was to go to the World House, let alone join in a literacy community. Only a desire that does not exist is more bitter than a desire that has been achieved.

Finally Ana returned to the activity of planting plants in her yard. For a while he forgot the desire to go to the House of the World, yes Ana regretfully just found out now about the house of the World. And the girl in her mind asked about the World House, what it looked like. Is it round like the world and on top of it is a house, or what?

In her heart always remembered a Gol A Gong name, Ana thought that Gol A Gong name was an old man, who was old. His skin is wrinkled, he wears glasses, his imagination is very strong.

He does not know what the World House is, yes it is Ana's imagination about Gol A Gong and another he also does not know that the name Gol A Gong is the pen name😊.

"Mom, how did Ana get to the World House?" ask her mother in the kitchen.

"Na, don't tell mom, you better talk to me about this. Let the father decide, Ana must also obey the father, said the father does not know the address of the World House?"

Mother Tri looked at her child with a feeling of affection. She recalled a conversation with her husband yesterday, when her daughter showed me a newspaper about Ibn Pandeglang's son who had succeeded in becoming a novelist. The woman knew that her daughter really had a strong desire to write, only circumstances had not allowed her.

The mother immediately hugged her daughter's body tightly. Ana immediately hugged her mother's body, a desire that made Ana achieve everything that passed as a writer. Yes fortunately talking about mind problems he only wants his book to be read by everyone especially if making money.

"Mother doain may what Ana wants come true,"

"Aamiin, O God," the girl answered while letting go of her mother's embrace.

He was deeply moved to hear his mother's sincere prayer for him. Yes the first woman who is always in the heart of the glasses girl, without her mother there is no way she is like this.

****

A month since that incident! in the same year, he bought a magazine in Labuan because in Labuan many street vendors who sell used books but still worth reading.

In the magazine Ana reread a community that is FLP Pamulang West Jakarta. His heart rippled strongly as he read about the Ring Pen Forum (FLP ), his heart revolted to follow the FLP Pamulang Branch. But the desire was buried instantly when the father and mother did not allow themselves to leave.

The reason for the existence of FLP Pamulang is addressed where?

"Bapak does not want Ana to be rough in Jakarta especially Ana does not know the environment in Jakarta," said the father.

What you said was right. He did not know Jakarta area, Jakarta is not a deserted village, but Jakarta is a crowded city and full of night life. A father cannot just let go of his daughter, let alone in a big city alone.
