Farmers Become Leaders

**true Priya Pillar of Civilization**

Priya, a close friend of Rama since childhood, feels called to meet Rama after hearing about the problems between Rama and Dr. Arjun. Priya is a social activist who has always fought for justice and equal rights. He knew how important support and true friends were in dealing with difficult situations like this.

With a worried heart, Priya visits Rama's house. They sat together on the porch of the house, surrounded by lush rice gardens. Rama looks at Priya with a warm smile and invites her to sit next to him.

"Priya, how are you? Thank you for coming" said Rama.

"Rama, I heard about what happened between you and Dr. Arjun. I want to hear the story directly from you," Priya said in a concerned tone.

Rama sighed deeply for a moment, then he told the details about the corruption allegations that befell him, the betrayal of Dr. Arjun, and the investigation process that Andi has done.

Priya listened carefully, her face filled with an empathetic expression. After Rama finished telling the story, Priya gave her support and encouragement.

"Rama, I'm so sad to hear all this. We know how valuable your friendship with Dr is. Arjun, and the trust you've built up over the years. But, as you say, justice comes first. I'm sure you've fought with your honesty and integrity. I'm here to support you," Priya said confidently.

Rama smiles and is amused by Priya's support. They have gone through many trials together since childhood, and now it is time for them to support each other in facing this test.

"Thank you, Priya. I am so valuable with your support. Our friendship is one of the things that mean the most to me, and I know that I am not alone in dealing with all of this" Rama said sincerely.

Priya and Rama sit together in Priya's living room when Priya's father's phone rings. Priya answered quickly and enthusiastically gave the news that Rama was beside her.

"Dad, I'm with Rama now" said Priya.

"I'm glad to hear that. Can I talk to Rama for a second?" ask Priya's father gently.

Priya gives Rama a phone and signals Rama to talk to Priya's father. Rama said his greetings and listened attentively as Priya's father began to speak.

"What have you experienced with Dr. Arjun is a painful betrayal. As human beings, we need to be able to forgive. Not that we forget what has happened, but forgiveness is a step that frees us from the burden of anger and resentment" Priya's father said wisely.

Rama pondered for a moment, realizing the truth of Priya's father's words. He realizes that he forgives Dr. Arjun is not to forget the betrayal that has occurred, but to free himself from the negative burden that can affect his life in the future.

"Priya's father, I understand what you're saying. It's hard to forgive, but I don't want vengeance and hatred controlling my life. I'll try to learn to forgive Dr. Arjun, although the process may take time," replied Rama sincerely.

Priya's father smiled at Rama's reply. He knows that the process of forgiveness requires great fortitude and sincerity.

"Rama, I'm proud to see you take such a good step. Forgiveness is a noble act and will bring peace to your life. I'm sure you'll find peace in your heart when you reach a point where you can forgive" Priya's father said warmly.

After hanging up the phone, Rama looked at Priya with gratitude. He knows that Priya's presence and her support, as well as the wise advice of Priya's father, are invaluable gifts to his life.

"Priya, I thank you for your support and your father's advice. I'll try to forgive Dr. Arjun and continue my life with peace and integrity" said Rama with renewed determination.

Priya smiled and nodded her head. "Rama, I will always be by your side in every step you take. We're gonna get through this together, and I'm sure we're gonna be able to see a bright future."

Days pass, and Rama embarks on a journey to forgive Dr. Arjun. The process is not easy, but with Priya's support and encouragement, as well as Priya's father's wise advice, Rama finds the strength to move forward.

Rama begins by contemplating the events that happened and trying to see them from a wider point of view. He understands that man has weaknesses and can fall into devastating temptations. Rama tries to understand what might drive Dr. Arjun to commit such treason, though it cannot justify such actions.

Every day, Rama turns his attention to activities that bring peace and tranquility. He meditates, walks in nature, and talks with wise people who can provide insight and advice. During this process, Rama learns to forgive himself and free himself from the burdens of negative emotions he has long harbored.

Priya has always been by his side, providing support and being a loyal listener to Rama. He gives words of encouragement and assures Rama that the process of forgiveness is a step towards true freedom and peace.

As Rama gets closer to the point where he can forgive Dr. Arjun, he invites Priya and Priya's father to join him in a meaningful meeting. Rama wanted to share this moment with those who had always been by his side throughout this journey.

During the meeting, Rama thanked Priya and Priya's father for providing unwavering support. She shares about the process she went through, the challenges she faced, and finally, she reveals that she has forgiven Dr. Arjun.

Priya and Priya's father are proud and moved to see the strength and maturity possessed by Rama. They congratulated him and hugged Rama tightly.

"By forgiving, I feel myself more and more free. I can move on in peace and focus on the positive goals I want to achieve" Rama said sincerely.

Priya took Rama's hand and smiled. "Rama, you have shown incredible fortitude and sincerity. I'm so proud to be your friend."

Priya's father nodded his head. "Rama, you have chosen a glorious path. By forgiving, you not only give yourself freedom, but also give Dr. Arjun to change and learn from his mistakes."

In that moment, Rama and Priya's friendship becomes stronger and unshakable. They both found the true meaning of courage and honesty.

In the days that followed, Rama continued his leadership journey with integrity and care. He runs the government with transparency and strives to achieve prosperity for the people in the Tasikmadu area.

Priya remained beside Rama, providing support and becoming a partner in the fight for justice and equal rights. Together, they inspire people with their stories of friendship and show how important forgiveness is in creating positive change.
