Stop Lying, Tell The Truth
A few years ago, when i was 10 years old and im still in the 4th grade of Elementary School, i got an unforgettable experience, that was a big trouble which was caused by the lies that i was said to my parents, when i lied to them and made them worried so much to me. That experience made me realize that honestly is a very important thing and that experience also makes me stay away from the lies until now.
One day, as usual in the elementary school, i did some activities like studying, and playing with my classmates. At the break time, i saw my classmate his name is Asep which was talking with his friend and also his niece, Hadi and some of his other friends. Because i was very curious about what they were talking about then i joined them, and finally i know that they were talking about their plans to sleepover at Asep’s house tomorrow. Then they were asked me that im busy or not tomorrow, i replied them that i have a free time, so they invited me to join the sleepover too, but i refused their invitation because i had never stay over at my friend’s house before and im sure that my parents would not allow it. But, they forced me to join them because that would be better than just staying at my home.
Still in that day, after school when i got home then i hurried to the kitchen to ask permission to my mother who was cooking there, then i told my mother that i would sleepover at my friend’s house. She asked me which friend i meant, she would not allow it if i went to sleepover at a house of my friend that she did not know because she afraid that something bad would happen to me. Then at that time i said a lie that i will stay over at my bestfriend, Ridwan. My mother allow it because she already knew Ridwan and also his house. At that moment i only ask the permission to my mother because my father which was a junior highschool teacher still has not returned from the school where he teaches.
In the afternoon the next day, i said goodbye to my mother and my father, i pretented to went toward the way of Ridwan’s house, but when i felt i was already far from my home, then i turned my walk towards the way of Asep’s house. About 30 minutes later, i finally arrived at Asep’s house, i was greeted by Asep, Hadi and other friends, i saw they were looked a bit suprised because they thought i would not come to join the sleepover. We enjoyed our time there by done some activities like playing cards, watching tv and eating together.
At 8 pm, an unexpected incident occurred, i did not expect that my father would come there accompanied by my brother and Ridwan. My father talked to Asep’s parents that is it rght that i sleepover at their house and they said yes, then Asep’s parents called me and told me that my father came here. When i get outside, my father told me to go home because he thought that i was troublesome Asep’s parents. But i refused to go home and Asep’s parents are also said that i did not bother them at all, then my father understood and then came home with Ridwan and my brother.
I continued my activities at Asep’s home until late night, and at the next day until 11 AM im still have not back to my home, then Ridwan come back again to pick me up, but i still do not want to go home, because Ridwan still forced me, so i decided to go home and then say goodbye to Asep, his friends and his parents. On the way home, i asked Ridwan that why on yesterday night he, my brother and my father could come to Asep’s house, then he said that my parents asked him am i sleepover in his house, Ridwan said no to them, so my parents asked him where actually i was, and he said that i actually stay over at Asep’s house. Then my father asked Ridwan to take him to the place that i sleepover (Asep’s house) because he was worried to me.
After that incident, i finally realized something, that i should always tell the truth, because if lying at something, then some problem will come to me. The lesson that i could get from this experience is that even if i tried to hide the lies as well as it does, it will finally known by people and that will make bad impact on myself and others. So, it’s better to tell the truth even though it feels heavy and bitter.
