Asal Usul Batu Gantung Di Kota Parapat

Pada zaman dahulu terdapatlah sebuah desa kecil di

pinggiran danau toba sumatera utara, ada sepasang
suami istri yang mempunyai seorang anak perempuan
nan cantik bernama seruni.

Orang tua seruni bermata pencaharian sebagai

petani, sehingga seruni pun sering membantu mereka di
ladang yang berada di tepi danau toba . Suatu hari
karena orang tua seruni sedang pergi ke desa tetangga
maka seruni pun pergi ke ladang hanya ditemani oleh si
toki, seekor anjing kesayangan milik seruni.
 Tetapi ternyata seruni tidak langsung bekerja tetapi
ia hanya menikmati pemandangan danau toba yang
indah, tatap matanya sayu seperti sedang memikirkan
masalah yang sangat berat. Si toki pun ikut duduk
menemani seruni seolah-olah dia tau apa yang sedang
dirasakan oleh majikannya.

Akhir-akhir ini seruni memang sering melamun, dia

sedang bingung dengan masalah yang sedang
menimpanya. Orang tua seruni ingin mengawinkan nya
dengan saudara sepupunya, tetapi seruni juga sangat
mencintai kekasihnya. Ingin menolak permintaan orang
tua tapi seruni takut mengecewakan mereka dan
menjadi anak durhaka.

Tiba-tiba seruni pun tak kuasa untuk menahan diri,

dia tidak tau lagi harus berbuat apa, sepertinya seruni
sudah putus asa hingga tiba-tiba dalam pikiranya ingin
mengakhiri hidupnya. Dengan wajah kusut dan mata
yang sembab karena menangis seruni pun berlari
menuju kea rah danau toba, dia ingin menceburkan
dirinya di tengah-tengah danau. Tetapi tiba-tiba seruni
terperosok ke dalam lubang sebelum dia sampai ke
danau toba. Karena lubang itu dalam sekali dan batu
cadas yang hitam sehingga membuat suasa di dalam
dasar lubang itu begitu gelap. Seruni pun teriak
ketakutan, dia berusaha memanggil si toki untuk
menolongnya, tetapi apa daya si toki yang dari tadi
memang selalu mengikuti seruni dari belakang tidak
bisa berbuat apa-apa karena dia hanya seekor anjing.
 Setelah lelah teriak untuk meminta tolong, seruni pun
putus asa,dan berkata kalau dia ingin mati saja
daripada nanti hidup tapi menderita, batu-batu di
dalam lubang yang makin dekat merapat ingin
menghimpit seruni . Seruni pun teriak pada batu itu,
parapat…parapat batu !
Si toki yang sedari tadi berusaha menolong seruni
tetapi tidak bisa, kemudian anjing itu berlari pulang ke
rumah. Dijumpai orang tua seruni yang baru pulang
dari desa tetangga, kemudian si toki menggonggong
berusaha untuk member tau bahwa seruni dalam
keadaan bahaya.

Orang tua seruni berteriak teriak pada si toki

bertanya di mana seruni, anjing itupun mencakar-cakar
tanah berusaha untuk memberi tau keadaan seruni.
Merekapun tiba-tiba mempunyai firasat jelek,
kemudian mereka meminta tolong pada warga desa
untuk membantu mencari seruni.

Warga desa pun mengikuti kemana arah si toki

berlari, akhirnya mereka berada di tepi lubang dimana
seruni terperosok. Ayah seruni pun berusaha menolong,
tapi keadaan yang tidak memungkinkan sehingga
usahanya gagal .mereka hanya mendengar suara seruni
sedang teriak-teriak parapat-parapat. Mereka pun
kebingungan kenapa seruni teriak seperti itu.

Tiba-tiba terdengar suara gemuruh yang sangat

besar disertai dengan goncangan yang sangat hebat
sehingga mulut lubang pun tertutup. Para warga dan
orang tua seruni pun berlarian menyelamatkan diri,
akhirnya seruni pun tidak tertolong lagi karena
terhimpit batu.

Dan setelah keadaan normal kembali para warga pun

ke tempat lubang dimana seruni jatuh, tapi keanehan
terjadi, muncul batu yang menyerupai gadis
menggantung di tepi sebuah tebing di danau toba. Dan
mereka percaya kalau batu itu adalah jelmaan
seruni.karena pada waktu itu warga mendengar seruni
berteriak parapat maka mereka menamakan batu itu
dengan nama parapat dan sekarang menjadi kota kecil
yang menjadi tujuan wisata yang sangat menarik di
provinsi sumatera utara.
