Calm and beautiful, the right words to describe Tlogo Goyangan, which has now changed its name to Kampung Pitu. Village located on top of the Ancient Volcano, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. It is said to be unique, because it can only accommodate 7 families or family cards. According to RT Head Dedi Setiawan, there were the first residents of the village. Named Eyang Iro Kromo, guardian of the Gadung Wulung tree.
"Then from the palace, whoever can look after the tree (Gadung Wulung) will be given land for their future children and grandchildren," said Dedi Setiawan.
According to caretaker and elder Redjo Dimulyo, who is now more than 100 years old, Kampung Pitu was created in such a way by God. Even if there are more than 7 families, one of the families will leave by itself.
No, suddenly I just caught a cold and died straight away. Without getting sick, people still want to clean up and build a house. "That's right, there are five places," said Redjo Dimulyo.
For natives, there are obligations they must fulfill. Namely doing 'character 4 and letter 5', if left behind he will cease to exist. It sounds mystical, Redjo is not willing to explain the meaning because it is a secret. It is difficult for outsiders who want to live in Kampung Pitu, they need to meet the requirements. Only those who have received 'revelation' may stay. No matter how many people want to stay, they must join the previous KK. Until now, the remaining residents of Kampung Pitu number 23 people.
"If there are 1,000 people who want to join here, that's fine, but if you want to join, the KK controls here, that will actually make people afraid," concluded Redjo Dimulyo.
