**There are shrimp behind the stone**

Although Rama has been found not guilty in the case of corruption charges, but his heart does not accept it all.

"I must be something behind all this, I must explore more deeply who is behind all this!" rama said in his heart.

Rama immediately contacted his confidants.

"Hello, is this with Andi?" ask Rama when connecting via phone call.

"yes, with myself!" answer Andi who already knows Rama is in trouble.

"you helped trace who those people who defamed me were on corruption charges last month!" resolute Rama.

"Well Mr. Rama, I'll try it"! andy answered attentively.

Andi began investigating who was behind the corruption allegations. He conducted interviews with various parties, gathered evidence, and devised a strategy to dismantle this crime.

After several weeks of investigation, Andi finds clues that lead to someone who has motive to defame Rama. He found that there were parties who felt threatened by Rama's success in building the Tasikmadu area. They tried to bring down Rama so that his popularity slumped.

Andi immediately reported his findings to Rama. Rama listened seriously and realized that this was a deliberate political attack.

" Who - who are the people you see when you search?" ask Rama.

" There is a person not far from the Father!" andi said in complete secrecy.

"Who is that guy?" rama asked, getting curious.

"He is Dr. Arjun is my best friend!". Andi said full of fear.

Rama is shocked and confused to hear that Dr. Arjun, one of his closest friends, is allegedly involved in defiling his name. He tries to process the information wisely and does not rush into making decisions.

"Much Dr. Arjun did this to me!" rama said in his heart.

"Andi, are you sure of your findings? Dr. Arjun is a good friend of mine, I find it hard to believe that he's involved in this!" rama said full of sad feelings.

"Sir Rama, the evidence I have gathered points to Dr. Arjun. However, let's stay calm and not make any conclusions before there is more concrete evidence!" obviously Andi.

Rama took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Although he feels shaken by these accusations against his best friend, he knows that the truth must be unequivocally revealed. Rama feels indebted to himself and to his people to uncover who is really behind the attempt to defame him.

Rama and Andi begin to devise a plan to gather more concrete and irrefutable evidence against Dr. Arjun. They gather more information, analyze, and conduct hidden surveys to find out the truth behind these allegations.

During the investigation process, Rama faces a severe emotional dilemma. He remembers all the good memories with Dr. Arjun and their friendship that has been established for many years. However, Rama also cannot turn a blind eye to the facts and evidence that led to the involvement of his best friend.

Rama, feeling sad and disappointed, took the hard decision to face Dr. Arjun and face it head on. He asked Andi to arrange a meeting in a neutral place, where they could talk openly.

As the meeting progressed, Rama carefully presented his findings to Dr. Arjun. He presented irrefutable evidence and gave Dr. Arjun to defend himself or confess his actions.

Dr. Arjun is shocked and shaken by the fact that his best friend knows the truth. After a moment of silence, he finally admitted that he was involved in trying to defame Rama. Dr. Arjun reveals that he feels threatened by Rama's success and fears his position is threatened.

Rama is hurt by Dr. Arjun, but also feels sad to see his best friend entangled in such a crime. He decides to let the law take its course and give Dr. Arjun to take responsibility for his actions.

After the confession of Dr. Arjun, Rama feels the need to take legal measures to uphold justice. He decided to report the case to the competent authorities and provide all the evidence they had gathered.

The legal process begins, and Rama, with Andi as his legal advisor, undergoes a series of trials. They prepare for strong arguments, involve relevant witnesses, and present irrefutable evidence to prove Dr. Arjun in defaming the name of Rama.

During the trial, Rama remained calm and steadfast, though his mind was disturbed by the betrayal of his best friend. He let the legal process go, believing that justice will be achieved in the end.

In the end, thanks to the strong evidence and the decisiveness of Rama in the face of the trial, Dr. Arjun was found guilty of his actions. He was punished in accordance with the prevailing laws, including serving time in detention and paying compensation to Rama for damage to his reputation.

Although Rama is saddened and disappointed by the betrayal of his best friend, he also feels relieved that the truth has been revealed. Rama took this opportunity to teach important values of integrity, honesty, and responsibility to his people. He promised to continue to carry out his duties with full integrity and protect the interests of his people.
