Klaten -Jonggrangan Village, Klaten Utara District, Klaten Regency, Central Java, is unique. How not, dozens of residents are twins.
"There are identical twins there are dampit (male). The last number is about 15 pairs or 30 people, that's currently still alive," said Head of Jonggrangan Village, Sunarno, when met by detik.com at his home, Sunday (21/2/2021 ).
Jonggrangan village is to the northeast of the city center of Klaten, located on the edge of the Yogya-Solo road. Jonggrangan Village has 7 RW and 22 RT with a population of around 4,300 inhabitants.
Sunarno continued that the largest number of twins in his village was in Jonggrangan Hamlet. Even in the alley in front of his house there were about four couples.
"In the alley of my house to the east, there are seven or eight twins. My own younger siblings are twins, my nephews are also identical twins," said Sunarno.
Sunarno admitted that no one knew when in his village there were twins. In the community there are also no stories from the village elders about the causes of twins.
"There is no story about what caused it and when it started. If I suspect yes, maybe since the grandmother used to have twins, I think this is due to genetic causes," he explained.
Although the history is not clear, according to Sunarno, his village has been known as a village of twins for a long time. Around the end of the 1990s to 2000, his village began to attract public attention.
Sunarno added that the twins in his village live normally, are healthy, and grow to adulthood. The trouble is that sometimes there are mistakes in greeting because of the similarity of his face.
"Yes, sometimes it's wrong, but if you memorize it, don't bother. Like my brother, the difference is that there are scars on the hands. The twins are all healthy, some are still young," added Sunarno.
So far, the government has never investigated the existence of twins in Jonggrangan Village. However, population data collection is routinely carried out.
"If there is no research, we also do not report it even though it is funny. If there is data collection on residents, for example children at the posyandu," added Sunarno.
One of the twin residents of Jonggrangan Village, Kris Joko Raharjo (40), said that he had many funny stories to experience as twins. People sometimes call or ask the wrong address.
"Often people get it wrong, sometimes a driver who wants to fill up petrol meets and asks what picket I am on, even though the person who works at the gas station is Kris Joko Santoso," said Kris Joko when met by detikcom.
"For those who have been hanging out often, they are not confused but those who have just met once might be wrong. Their names are only different from Kris Joko Raharjo and Kris Joko Santoso," Kris continued.
One mother who owns twins, Basuki (67), said there was no difference in terms of conceiving her twins. It's just that the size of the womb is bigger than an ordinary pregnancy.
"Only the stomach is big. So if people look sometimes pity and it must be twins," said Basuki when met at his home.
Another resident, Tugino (69), has twin grandchildren, namely Ikhsan (5) and Akhsan (5). The two are identical twins even though there are no twins in their family.
"I have three children and several grandchildren. Only these two grandchildren are twins even though my family also does not have twins," explained Tugino at his home.
According to him, caring for twins is not the same as ordinary children. Because in all things must be given the same.
"Same school, same clothes, same toys, basically all the same. Toys are the same, but if they are mixed together they can strangely differentiate themselves," added Tugino.
Separately, the Head of Public Health at the Klaten Regency Government Health Service, Tuti Nur Haryanti, said that the agency had never recorded or researched the phenomenon of twins in Jonggrangan Village. According to him, most likely the number of twins in Jonggrangan Village is due to heredity.
"We have never recorded or researched, but the data is usually at the Puskesmas. But usually the twins are due to previous heredity or marriage," said Tuti when asked for confirmation by detikcom.
