Nurul Amalia (9) is a fully happy girl. Born in Peunteut, Leukseumawe, this little girl is actively moving. She sings, studying, and even reading the letters that sent to someone she called “Ibu Wangi”.
Nurul is a girl of love. She kissed a few times and showed her passion to Muhammad Fajar Ramadhan who also stays at Rumah Kita, a house that managed by volunteers and led by Nurjannah Husein (48).
Nurul is clearly increadible. She is suffering from Leukeumia ALL. Since detected on August 2017, she already had chemoteraphy for 17 times.
In her letter that she wrote to Ibu Wangi, Nurul wrote her story that she suddenly fell down when she was attending a carnival and she was taken to the hospital. She was cured by then she was sick again.
Again, Nurul is a great child. Blood cancer or spinal cord ( a place that produce red blood cells) cancer, type Acute Lympoblastic Leukeumia, does not make her lost her spirit. A few times she admit that she does not feel the pain. She even fluently explaining her illness and wrote letters that telliing about her illness history.
"Nurul doesn’t feel the pain, really, no pain. I am heathy,” She said convincing while sharing her eye’s light that full of convidence.
But, inside Nurl’s heart is oftenly pouring out to a seven moth old baby named Muhammad Fajar Ramadhan. “While she is playing, we recorded her suffering live sharing to Fajar, “said Nurjannah Husein who is familiarly called Kak Nu.
To Fajar, she told her pain by comparing her life with Fajar. “Fajar is more lucky since he had his mom who accompany him, while Nurul is ill and her mom is not with her who is wandering,” said Kak Nu recorded Nurul plaint to Fajar.
”One day, Nurul asked me to be her mom, and her request made me unable to hold my emotion,” Kak Nu added.
Kak Nu, during the breaks at KSI Chapter Banda Aceh Meet up admitted that Nurul is a very inspiring figure. “She never complain, and she even make us feel much more weaker than she is who is fighting against her Leukeumian,” said Kak Nu while trying to keep her tears.
Nurul then took a drawing book that filled with her drawings. “Uncle, this is Nurul drawing that should be taken to International Cancer Day in Blang Padang, Banda Aceh, February 4th 2018. Please come uncle, clean your head, we will be bold together,” said Nurul to me while playing her eyes, exactly like a happy and healthy child.
Rumah Kita (Our House) was built in June, 2017 and has been took care 54 patients. Before that, Rumah Kita is named Rumah Harapan (House of Hope). In Rumah Kita, all volunteers are working voluntary. Now there are 8 patients in Rumah Kita who apply the Goodness Circle system. “All are having a chance to do good things, and good things are not necessary in material or things, advice is also a good thing, “ said Kak Nu who already accompany thalasemia patients for 5 years.
According to Kak Nu, she was accompanying patients from various regions in Aceh, but mostly from North Aceh. “Now we have from Subussalam and Singkil as well,” saud Kak Nu who does not called Rumah Kita as a shelter house. For her, Rumah Kita that placed in Simpah Tujoh Ulee Kareng, Banda Aceh should become a very comfortable house for all patients, a pleasant house for childrens patients. It was named Rumah Kita in order to develop the circle of goddness. “We want all of of us to meet in the same frequency which is the circle of goodness,” explained Kak Nu.
In circle of goodness there is hope that people will come and driven by the same empathy. There is generousity which not always mean money and material. “Giving advice is also genourosity,” said Kak Nu. For addition, Kak Nu mentioned one more attitude which is willingness to prioritize accompanying patients than others.
Nurul is back to her cheers though she had been through chemoteraphy for 17 times that made her lost all her hair. Nonetheless, Nurul never lost her confidence, she keeps singing with her bold head. “It will grow again, right, Mom?” she said with confidence, and she continue her song:
One One
I love God The Mighty
Two Two
I love The Prophet
Three Three
I love Mom and Dad
One Two Three, I love all.
