True to Bagas's prediction, the next morning, the fat boy informed Sheva about several requests for an interview, from the national television to some famous podcasts back home. Sheva himself could only stare blankly at the screen where he saw all the lists, somehow feeling numb and not knowing what to say.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't overwhelmed by this. In the end, he could only ask his best friend what he should do.
"Don't worry, let me handle this." Bagas just waved his hand nonchalantly. "There will be two unavoidable interviews, one from Kompas and one from ChessBase India. But other than that, I will try to delay it until we can go back home first, and after that, we can leave the future problem to us in the future." He explained thoroughly as if the boy were Sheva's manager here. Well, in hindsight, Bagas always acted one, ensuring that Sheva could play freely without being burdened with the off-the-board issues like this.
