Surat Untuk Ibu Wangi Dari Anak Penderita Leukemia
- Indonesia
Nurul Amalia. Itulah nama seorang bocah wanita berusia 9 tahun asal Kota Lhokseumawe, yang kini sedang berjuang untuk menghadapi penyakit kanker di dalam tubuhnya.
Di usia terbilang masih belia tersebut, bocah yang akrab disapa Nur itu, harus menerima sebuah vonis mengenai kesehatannya. Leukemia limfositik akut alias acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), itulah kanker yang kini bersarang di tubuhnya sejak Agustus 2017, lalu. Sejak itu pula, ia harus menjalani beberapa kali kemotrapi untuk kesembuhannya, hingga mau tak mau, bocah manis tersebut harus kehilangan mahkota yang ada di kepalanya (rambut-red).
Pada acara memperingati Hari Kanker se Dunia yang digelar di Lapangan Blang Padang, Banda Aceh, Minggu (4/2) pagi, Nurul beserta 11 anak penderita kanker di Aceh lainnya yang ditampung di ‘Rumah Kita’ juga terlihat hadir.
Hari ini, keduabelas anak-anak itu terlihat begitu manis. Mereka mengenakan pakaian berwarna kuning terang serta memakai topi. Senyuman bahagia sesekali tersirat di wajah para pejuang kanker tersebut. Begitu tertib dan rapi ketika duduk di salah satu sisi panggung, saat salah seorang pengurus Rumah Kita mengeluarkan instruksi duduk rapi yang langsung dilaksanakan mereka. Meski sesekali mereka terlihat saling bersenda dengan sesama.
Memperingati hari kanker itu, Nurul diberikan kesempatan untuk menceritakan kepada para audiensi mengenai awal mula ia berkenalan dengan leukemia yang kini bersarang di tubuh mungilnya.
Cerita itu sebelumnya telah ia tulis langsung di secerik kertas, yang merupakan selembar surat. Surat itu ditujukannya kepada seorang wanita dewasa atau sosok seorang ibu, yang belakangan ini dekat dengannya. Dia menyebutnya dengan Ibu Wangi.
Berikut isi surat tersebut yang sekilas sempat diceritakan Nurul saat di panggung:
"Buat Ibu Darwati yang Nurul Sayang
Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu
Nama saya Nurul, saya ingin bercerita, tentang pertama Nurul sakit. Pertama Nurul sakit Nurul ikut karnaval. Tiba-tiba jatuh di karnaval, terus itu dibilang sama Wak Wak Nurul sakit ya. Ia, terus Nurul dibawa ke rumah sakit Cut Meutia, setelah dirawat di sana, setelah itu Nurul sehat. Tiba-tiba Nurul sakit lagi dibawa ke rumah sakit Cut Mutia lagi. Di rujuk ke Banda Aceh, ketemu Ibu dibilang harus Kemo. Setelah itu Nurul bilang sama ayah, dibilang sama ayah tidak dikasih kemo Nurul. Nurul tetap berobat sendiri karena Nurul pingin sembuh, kalau kita sudah sembuh kita bisa sekolah dan juga bisa pergi ngaji. Nurul sekarang botak karena di kemo, tapi Nurul tidak malu dan sedih karena nanti akan tumbuh kembali rambutnya.

Ini saja yang Nurul sampaikan terimakasih cerita dari Nurul dan juga mendengar cerita dari Nurul.

Kehadiran Ibu Wangi atau Darwati A Gani, bisa dikatakan seolah pemberi semangat pada dirinya yang sedang menjalani ujian kesehatan begitu berat, seperti saat ini. Sebab ibu kandungnya, dikabarkan tidak kembali setelah pergi merantau.
Rumah Kita adalah rumah singgah tempat Nurul dan lainnya melewati hari-hari mereka menjalani masa pengobatan. Sejak hadir tahun 2017, rumah yang pada tahun 2016 bernama Rumah Harapan, kini telah merawat 54 pasien.
Peringatan Hari Kanker se Dunia di Aceh, digelar oleh Yayasan Kanker Indonesia Cabang Provinsi Aceh bersama dengan beberapa pendiri rumah singgah yang menampung anak kanker di Aceh. Pada acara tersebut digelar berbagai kegiatan dan hiburan, mulai dari screening mata pada anak, senam baby shark, mendengar dongeng, mewarnai, donor darah, serta plontos bareng sebagai bentuk solidaritas berupa dukungan kepada para penderita kanker.
