If I Were Keke (ESL assignment)




Ever hear the “Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan” movie. That movie based on novel which is true story from a girl who has Rabdomiosarcoma (soft connective tissue cancer), Gita Sessa Wanda Cantika (Keke). In the last seconds of her life, she wrote a poem about her life and everybody inside it. From that poem, I wanna reflex something from her life and mine, and finally I imagine If I were her in that time.


God
If I could go back
I wont their tears falls down again
If I could go back
I wont the same thing that happened to me will happen to anyone else

God
May I write a letter to you?

God...
May I ask a little thing from you?

God...
Let me see with my own eyes
For looking sky and moon everyday

God...
Let me have my hair grow up again so I can become a real woman

God...
Could I smiled longer
So I can give my happiness for my dad and my friends

God...
Give me power to grow up
So I can give the meaning of life for anybody who know me

God...
This little letter
Is my last letter in my life
If I could go back


I learned something from that story and especially from that poem. Sometime, when the time comes, and we have no more second to life. The problem is we’ll never know when we’ll die, where we’ll spend our last time and with who we’ll face the last days in our life.
But in some cases, some people will know when the will die because of their doctor prediction  for their disease and this is ever happened in Keke’s life.

Lets go in this story . . .

I imagine when I have a perfect life in my version and I should face the extreme change because of a disease which is ruin my face and kill me slowly. I have a family although its already broken. I live with my dad and my two older brothers. They are so busy, but I know one thing; they love me so much especially my dad. My mom? Sometime I meet my mom if I miss her.

My disease comes when I just feel something wrong with my eyes. Its reddish. But I know something goes wrong when I found clot as big as tennis balls and slowly its getting bigger as coconuts. It would made ​​me ashamed. I will be inferior to meet with everyone, friends and especially the people I love.

I don’t know what does it feels when I should face the reality if I got cancer, very dangerous cancer. My doctor calls it Rabdomiosarcoma. Its attack tissues in my right chick. I know my dad gives me a smile, but a second after that smile I know it was fake. The most excruciating feeling is when we know the people we love sad because to think about us.

My dad was so worrying me. Sometime he blame himself because he thoughts if  this bad thing happened to me because of karma. I know he has problem with his business because of my medical payment. He tried to heal me with chemotherapy and it was so expensive. The effect of chemotherapy that lasted only a few months. After that my face back like before I have chemo and I felt its getting worse. My hair started falling out. Now, I have no single hair on my scalp. I don’t want to see the world, I just too ashamed. Especially to Andy.

Andy, my first boyfriend and I think he’s the last. I love him, and probably he loves me. But I hate it, he so patient accept my condition just the way I am.  He kept coming to the my house or to the hospital just to get me.

I asked him to leave me, but he never heard it. I do not know how it feels when he sees my face like this. Its seems more like witch than a girl. I want him to get love from others are better than me but once again, he wont.

My doctor told me if I only have three months away. Initially I felt very sad. But over the time I realized that maybe this is my way. I wont to burden my father who had to work hard every day just to see me get well. After that maybe I will not see my family fight again.

I'd be more appreciative my time. I appreciate everyone around me. I would feel so close to them. I want to do everything. I want to fulfill my childhood dreams before my time comes.
And finally I realized one thing, I just want to see my family together again. I want to see my father, my mother and my brother get along again.

I know now, when we have limit time to life we will forget something that we thought it was important before just like money or win a lottery. We will prefer to spend our last time in the middle of our lovely family, friends and our love. And the most important is a second that already we passed because we will never back in that time.
