A Village That Is Always Missed

Once upon a time, lived a wanderer who always travel and never

settle. One day, he reached a place that looked like a forest, it was

really dark and full of swamp. He met some citizen there and asked, "

What is this place? It is very dark and full of swamp." Asked the

wanderer. " oh, you're right this is just a swamp. And where are you

going young man?" The citizens replied. " well, I'm a wanderer and I

will continue my journey." Said the wanderer. "But young man, supposedly
this village will left such a lot memories and you will always miss the place" said
the citizens. But the wanderer didn't believe that. And then, the wanderer

continue his journey to an unknown place.

But, after several years he realized that he always miss that place.
"What is wrong with me? Why I always miss that swamp? In my dreams, my
thought is full of that swamp." Said the wanderer. The dark swamp forest, he

felt like that forest is a home that he always miss. "Wait, I think what

the citizens said about that swamp is right. Who ever visit the swamp

will feel homesick and really miss the swamp." He wondered. Then the

wanderer decided to go back to that place.

When he came back, that place became totally different. The place

was not that dark anymore this place. The wanderer chosed to stay

there for several days, and then the next day he decided to meet the

elders and the other citizens there. His intention was to gave the
village a name, because he felt a chemistry and a connection with that

village. It is too bad if the village he missed so much didn't have a

name.

The elders and the citizens responds were very good, the welcome

the wanderer very well even though they didn't know the wanderer's

origin. And then the wanderer opened the meeting by asking, "Sir, I

wan't to ask about this village why this village gave so much

memories, when we're far we felt like homesick, we will miss this

village a lot, how could that happen?" And then and elder replied,

"Young man, since a long time ago the citizens around here always

live in harmony and never have fought each other, it made a homey

atmosphere. So that everyone left here will miss this village very

much.", "A really what a beautiful life sir" the wanderer replied. Then

some citizen said, "how if we name this village 'kangen' because that

is what everyone would feel when leaving this village." The wanderer

remembered the feel when he left this village, the feel of missing and
homesick. Then he replied, "What about Klangenan or Klangon it

means the place that is always missed."

Since that day, the swamp village called Klangenan or Klangonan and

the harmony life still preserved by citizens nowadays. But now, the

village is shortly called Klangon and became a crowded and organized


village.
