* Tergugah setelah Surat Mesra Dibaca Taufik Ismail
Usia Ny Sulistina Sutomo sudah menapaki 81 tahun. Tapi, istri pahlawan nasional Bung Tomo itu masih mampu unjuk kemampuan. Pada 20 Desember lalu, dia berhasil menyelesaikan buku keempatnya: Romantisme Bung Tomo, Kumpulan Surat dan Dokumen Pribadi Pejuang Revolusi Kemerdekaan.

Empat sap etalase berisi puluhan jenis tanaman kaktus berjajar di depan sebuah rumah di Jalan Pesona Amsterdam Blok I/9 No 7 Perumahan Kota Wisata, Bogor. Semuanya terawat rapi, termasuk tanaman hias yang disemai di halaman rumah berumput hijau lebat itu."Ya, ini kegiatan saya untuk mengisi waktu. Berkebun," tutur Sulistina saat Fajar berkunjung ke kediamannya Sabtu sore lalu. Berbusana santai berwarna merah muda, nenek 10 cucu itu mempersilakan masuk. "Saya juga suka punya kolam ikan di belakang rumah. Senang melihat ikan-ikan itu makan," tutur wanita kelahiran 24 Oktober 1925 itu dengan senyum. Selama bertahun-tahun sejak Bung Tomo meninggal di Makkah pada 7 November 25 tahun lalu, Sulistina selalu menyibukkan diri dengan kegiatan keorganisasian di Yayasan Bung Tomo yang menerbitkan buku-bukunya. Hobi menulisnya tak pernah terbendung oleh bertambahnya usia. Sudah empat buku dihasilkan dari tangan ibu empat anak itu. Yang terakhir berjudul Romantisme Bung Tomo, Kumpulan Surat dan Dokumen Pribadi Pejuang Revolusi Kemerdekaan. Buku itu mampu diselesaikan dalam waktu dua tahun.Ide awal menulis buku tersebut muncul setelah digelar pertemuan warga-warga pejuang pada akhir 2004 di Jakarta. Topik yang diangkat dalam acara tersebut adalah Pengaruh Surat Cinta. Acara diisi dengan pembacaan surat cinta Sulistina kepada Bung Tomo, yang saat itu dibacakan penyair Taufiq Ismail. "Saya terharu sekali. Saya kira surat itu surat biasa dari seorang istri kepada suaminya. Ternyata ada nilainya," kenangnya.Sejak itulah, surat-surat tulisan tangan Bung Tomo yang tersimpan puluhan tahun itu mulai diketik. Berbekal laptop, satu per satu surat tersebut dikonversi menjadi file-file dokumen elektronik. "Satu hari saya bisa menulis 3 sampai 5 surat," ungkapnya.Buku setebal 229 halaman tersebut berisi surat-surat Bung Tomo kepada Sulistina dan balasannya sejak 1951?1957, 1971. Selain itu, termuat surat-surat yang ditulis Bung Tomo pada 1977?1978, saat rezim Soeharto menjebloskan Bung Tomo ke penjara Nirbaya atas tuduhan subversi (melawan pemerintah). Foto-foto kenangan yang sebelumnya tak banyak diketahui masyarakat juga turut diterbitkan."Beberapa dokumen ada yang hilang saat pindahan dari Madiun," ungkapnya sedihMenurut rencana, buku Romantisme Bung Tomo itu akan di-launching pada 10 November lalu, tepat pada hari pahlawan. Namun, masih ada beberapa bagian yang perlu direvisi sehingga rencana itu dibatalkan. Selain itu, dalam penulisan buku, Sulistina mengerjakan sendiri tanpa batuan orang lain. "Anak saya (Bambang Sulistomo, Red) hanya mengajari cara menggunakan laptop. Karena mesin ketik zaman dulu nggak sama dengan laptop," seloroh wanita yang lahir di Kota Malang itu sambil membuka-buka halaman bukunya.Raut wajahnya tiba-tiba tersipu ketika tangannya berhenti pada halaman 125. "Ini puisi yang paling saya suka," katanya. Dia menunjukkan halaman dengan foto Sulistina yang sedang duduk di pangkuan Bung Tomo kepada Fajar. Dalam puisi yang ditulis dari balik jeruji penjara itu, Bung Tomo menyebut Sulistina dengan "Melati Putihku". Puisi itu ditulis pada 26 November 1978.Bung Tomo memang romantis. Di balik kegigihan dan ketegasannya dalam memimpin perang revolusi tak banyak yang tahu bahwa Bung Tomo juga seorang perayu ulung. Poin itulah yang ingin ditekankan Sulistina dalam buku keempatnya. Romantisme saat berpacaran hingga komitmen keduanya dalam membangun rumah tangga harmonis bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi pasangan lain. (***) (www.fajar.co.id)

    I leave a response each time I like a article on a website or I have something to add to the conversation.

    It is triggered by the passion communicated in the
    article I browsed. And after this post "Ketika Istri Bung Tomo Menulis Buku Romantis Sang Suami".
    I was actually moved enough to write a thought ;-) I do have 2
    questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Is it only me or does it appear like some of these responses come across as if they are coming from brain dead visitors?
    :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I would like to follow you.
    Could you list the complete urls of your shared pages like your
    twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
