After a long discussion and still have not found a word of agreement, Caraka and the national team postponed the decision until tomorrow afternoon. Caraka decided to go home and try to talk to her grandparents. Even so in his heart his decision to step down was final, but asking the opinions of his grandparents did not seem to be a disadvantage.
In the car Caraka called Gauri who had gone home. Before meeting the team, Caraka takes Gauri home and ensures Gauri is safe. Waiting for a while it turns out that Gauri did not answer the call from Caraka. "What was the slumber from earlier the grim cry about it," Caraka murmured in heart. Caraka sends a message to Gauri.
Gauri who just finished the shower saw her phone turned out there was a missed call and a message from Caraka. Caraka just asked how Gauri was doing right now. Reports of Gauri's threats have been reported and investigated by police. So that makes Gauri a little calmer even though there is still a little worry.
Arriving at Caraka's house immediately looking for the whereabouts of the grandmother. Fely was busy taking care of her plants in the back garden with her maid Mimin. Fely who saw Caraka had gone home waved and gestured for Caraka to approach him.
"Newly sampe?" ask Fely.
"Yes ... Did grandma eat?" Caraka asked.
"Have, you must not have eaten that way," teased Fely.
"Someone wants me to obrolin with Grandma, can you?" Caraka's getting serious.
Seeing the two would chat seriously Mimin said to go to the kitchen to clean up.
"Why? what do you want to talk about?" look Fely.
"So I met the team people, kept talking about a lot of bad news about me .. They asked me to hold a press conference and said that all the rumors were lies, lies, but I don't think that'll be enough" Caraka said.
"Keep you have another solution?" ask Fely.
"So morning Gauri was threatened because she belain me, all day she cried out in fear because of that .... "
"Caraka gabisa see the people who Caraka loves so involved even in danger kayak gini, Nek," continued Caraka.
Fely, who knew Caraka well, knew where her grandson was going, so he only heard all the explanations from Caraka.
"So I decided to back off, Nek, follow what they want .... "
"Caraka .. horrified Grandma yes, whatever your decision Grandma hope you will not regret with it. somehow finally, we Grandma and Grandpa will be with you, okay ... " Fley clasped Caraka's hand tightly.
The next morning Caraka convinced herself and went to the national team office to conduct a press conference. Fely can only pray that this decision will not be regretted by Caraka. Surya has also been informed by Fely of his granddaughter's plans, and supports whatever the decision is. The only ones who know about this are Caraka, Caraka's team and grandparents. Bagas and Gauri certainly did not know about Caraka's retreat.
In the national team office there are already several media that are waiting. Initially the press conference schedule will be held in the afternoon, but Caraka has made up her mind and is advancing the schedule of her press conference. His coaches once again asked if Caraka was confident in his decision. But now this was all he could do to defuse the increasingly wild news and hateful comments.
The press conference finally began. The event was broadcast live on several online platforms. Bagas who happened to be at Gauri's house with his mother was quite shocked to see the notification of Caraka's press conference. Bagas and Gauri watched along with the show to see what decision Caraka would make.
The event opened with an explanation about the news circulating so far is a lie. But immediately denied by one of the media representatives there. They say that the lack of evidence makes that statement unbelievable. Currently, the petition for Caraka's resignation has reached an unexpected number. It turns out that quite a lot of people are consumed with this false news.
Bagas and Gauri who were watching were quite anxious because Caraka and the team were being cornered. The image of the national team is now at stake. On the other hand, they cannot harm other athletes because of Caraka's news, but also regret the decision to withdraw Caraka.
After giving several statements and answering questions from the media, Caraka closed the press conference today with a surprising decision. Caraka said "I am Caraka Adhitama hereby decided to step down as a national swimming athlete, after these few years I hope that what I did was not something in vain. I apologise to all those who have supported me. My decision does not mean I acknowledge the false news that is circulating. It is purely to protect the people who have supported me all this time. Thank you." Thank you."
Many who were watching this press conference were shocked to hear the decision from Caraka, including Bagas and Gauri. Bagas looks disappointed and upset by the decision made by Caraka, while Gauri just fell silent in disbelief. Bimo who saw the event from home also looks disappointed but proud of the courage of his best friend. Who can give up the results of hard work for years as Caraka did.
The official press conference ended and Caraka left. Outside he was welcomed by his coaches, some of his friends and juniors. They knew that the decision Caraka made was not an easy one. They were the ones who had believed Caraka all along even to the end.
"Again my performance is not the same as before, it is a coach," said Caraka.
"That dong Ka, it can still be fixed."
"This is the time for the coach, Caraka has not been able to enter there again" said Caraka.
Unbelieving Gauri tries to call Caraka but is not picked up either. Bagas finally invites Gauri to meet Caraka there. The two decide to go see Caraka in person. It turns out that in front of the office there are many media gathered there are also some supporters of Caraka. The crowded conditions made it difficult for Bagas and Gauri to enter inside.
Fanatic Mike fans were not satisfied with it. Because it can be seen after Caraka's resignation many comments are sympathetic and actually give support for Caraka. They also carried out the last attack, now related to Caraka's health which requires control in the hospital. They hope his attack can now really make Caraka's career destroyed.
The news was released when many people and media gathered in front of the national team office. Along with the exit of Caraka and some of his trainers. The media who had seen the news finally gave a question that cornered Caraka. The confused Caraka could only be speechless seeing them all point the camera and mic at him.
Bagas and Gauri look at Caraka from a distance wondering what happened there. Bagas then looked at his phone and sure enough, new news appeared that cornered Caraka. Gauri, who saw it, ran to get to Caraka but was arrested by Bagas.
