The journalists who were already on guard in front of the general election office were seen waiting for the arrival of the main star who was hailed to win the Ontario constituency to advance to parliament, and that person was Fernando Gray Willan. The reporters were shocked when they saw Fernando went to the field instead of into the registration room, but they continued to chase him to find out his plan in going to an open area like that.

"First, I would like to apologize to all my fellow journalists for having to gather in an open place like this," Fernando said slowly, opening his speech.

The journalists who surrounded Fernando immediately clapped their hands when they heard the words of the star. They did not believe that Fernando would say things like that to those who incidentally were the people most hated by dirty officials and criminals. 

Several cameras immediately turned on and recorded Fernando on live broadcasts to television and several streaming broadcasts via YouTube. 

"Surely all you journalists are shocked and curious why I am doing interviews in an open place like this, and not inside. I want to tell you a few. important thing beforehand to everyone in front of you. Therefore, I choose to do this in a wider place so that it is safer and more comfortable for journalists as well," Fernando said with a smile.

"Does this have anything to do with your candidacy, Sir?" Asked a female journalist from a well-known television channel suddenly. 

"According to the news that circulates, you have been confirmed to pass the parliamentary elections this time representing the Ontario area. So how do you feel right now, Sir, when you find out about this news?" Add another female journalist in response to the words of the first reporter. 

"Yes, Sir, please explain, Sir," 

"What's the secret, Sir?" 

"Does your rival know that you are sure to pass, Sir?" 

Fernando smiled at the words of the reporters. He seemed very patient waiting for other questions to arise. His bodyguards looked very vigilant around Fernando, making a circle to fortify Fernando from journalists, who tried to approach him as well as Justin and Harry, who stood guard on Fernando's right and left. 

"Since all of you are asking almost the same question, I will answer them briefly, so please listen carefully," Fernando replied with a smile and took the file that Justin was holding. 

"First, I would like to thank the various parties who have supported me in my candidacy to participate in the parliamentary candidate elections which will be held in four months. I am a businessman who never knew about the world of politics. I was very honored to have been given such a great opportunity by several people and the community who supported me. However, because there were many things that had to be considered and various inputs I received from my immediate family, including my beloved wife, who is currently is pregnant with our first child, so I Fernando Gray Willan decided to withdraw from the parliamentary election process," Fernando said loudly. 

There was a moment of silence for a few seconds when Fernando announced his withdrawal in his participation in the election of parliamentary candidates in the next election, they didn't seem to believe what they had just heard. 

"What do you mean, Sir?" 

"Is this part of the strategy you made with your team to attract more voters, Sir?" 

"Is this one of your ways to get more sympathizers, Sir?" 

"Earlier you said that you discussed this with your wife, did your wife forbid you to enter politics?" 

"Then your wife doesn't really love you if she forbids you to develop a career elsewhere," 

Justin looked emotional hearing the words of the reporters, who seemed to be cornering the mistress. He almost spoke harshly but Fernando held his hand. 

"If you keep talking like that, how do I answer all my friends' questions?" Said Fernando with a smile. 

"Then answer our question, Sir." 

"Yes, Sir, please make it clear." 

Justin raised his hand in the air as a form of request for all journalists to be quiet, because Fernando would speak. After the situation stabilized, Justin lowered his hand again. Fernando thanked Justin for the initiative. He then grabbed one of the male journalists to stand beside him and put his hand around the male reporter's shoulder. The male reporter looked shocked and did not expect Fernando to treat him like that. 

"What's your name?" Fernando asked quietly to the reporter whom he was now embracing. 

"Bony, Sir." The reporter named Bony stuttered. 

"Are you married?" Fernando asked again. 

"I already have two sons, Sir, one is twelve years old and the little one is only two months old," Bony replied excitedly when he told Fernando about his two sons. 

"Are you happy with your married life?" Fernando asked back. 

"Of course, Sir, I really love my wife because she is my first love, Sir," Bony replied quickly. 

"Then what if someone slandered your wife who gave you two angels? What would you do, Bony?" Asked Fernando with a smile. 

"Of course I would be angry, Sir. No one can hurt my wife and children as long as I live," Bony replied fiery. 

Fernando smiled as he tapped Bony's shoulder slowly when he heard Bony's final answer. He then turned to all the reporters in front of him who had been listening to his conversation with Bony. 

"If Bony can be angry then what about me, who have heard clearly how you accused my wife like that." Fernando said quietly as he glared at all the reporters in front of him. 

The reporters immediately choked when they heard Fernando's words. It was as if they were in a trap that they made for themselves right now. And so was Bony, who was still standing beside Fernando. He did not think that all his answers would backfire to him. Bony, who was ashamed, immediately bowed because he felt guilty for thinking that Fernando's wife was the person behind Fernando's resignation from the parliamentary election market. 

"My decision to withdraw purely came from my own mind after thinking about various aspects and reasons. For me to become a member of parliament which incidentally will serve the community cannot be considered as a playful job, as many people have high hopes for a representative of the people like that. And I honestly tell you all right now, I have not been able to carry out such a big mandate, because honestly there are still many shortcomings on my part. I therefore choose to resign and entrust other candidates who are trusted. As a good citizen, I will support any elected member of parliament who will represent the voice of the people and I would like to apologize to the various parties who have supported me so far. I'm sorry that I let you down. From the bottom of my heart I apologize profusely," said Fernando while lowering his face as an expression of his sincere apology.

Bony, who stood beside Fernando immediately clapped his hands loudly after Fernando ended his words. Not long after that, the other journalists also clapped along with Bony. Fernando just smiled seeing what the reporters were doing. He then turned to Justin and Harry who were standing beside him smiling. Both of his personal assistants nodded slowly in response to Fernando. 

After making the important announcement, Fernando then said goodbye to all the reporters, and went into the general election office to retrieve some of his personal documents that had been submitted and intended to officially reported to the officers about his withdrawal in person.
