Cerita Jorok Novels & Stories

That had ended with me locked in a basement by some pervert who saw the flyer. Three days. Three nights. I died there. Not this time.

Jorok! "Ha ha ha, seneng bisa godain istri sampe pipinya merona begitu," ucapnya tanpa dosa sambil mengusap kepalaku.

I had my eyes on the prize, my career, and leveling up my skills. I hit the books, joined an exec program at a business school, and snagged a few of the industry's top certs. I was on my way up, not looking back. Then, out of the blue, I ran into Seth. There he was, clutching a beat-up canvas bag, crouched on the curb, chowing down on a stale bun. The once dashing Mr. Hoffman was down and out, looking worse off than a street bum.

That was the excerpt of the verse part from a dangdut song 'Jaran Goyang' or ‘Rocking Horse’ by Nella. Rocking Horse itself was one of the most popular black magic in Indonesia whereby a person is made to fall in love, by the way.
