     Back in 2008, when i was 10 years old and im still in the 4th grade of Elementary School, i got an unforgettable experience that i couldn’t forgot until now. I make a lie that causes an incident, that incident happened because i lied to my parents that i would stayover at my bestfriend’s house. but actually at my other friend’s house. I know they wouldn’t allow it if i said the truth so i lied to them. Although at first it went well, but my parents finally knew that lie because they asked my bestfriend if i was stayover in his house and he tell the truth to my parents. So, after they found out my lie they are become very worried about me. After that a big problem arose, my father, my brother and also my bestfriend came to pick me up from my friend’s house, but then i disappointed them because of my stubbornness that i don’t want to go home at that time, and also i make my bestfriend upset and angry to me because of my stubbornness. After that incident, i began to set my heart to no longer make lies because i don’t want such incidents happen again.
     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, Hadi and also with 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. Because i don’t make them disappointed, so accepted their invitation to stayover and i would try to plead my parents until they agree it.
     Still in that day after the school, when i got home 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 expected that my father would come there accompanied by my brother and Ridwan. Then my father talked to Asep’s parents that is it right 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 activies at Asep’s home until late night, and at the next day until 11 AM i 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 i lie about something, then some bad things will come to me. That incident made me realize that honestly is a very important thing and that experience also makes me stay away from the lies until now. The lesson i could get from that incident is even i tried to hide my lies as well as it does, my lies will finally known by people and that will make bad impact on myself and others. Although you will not able to get what you want not as like when you are lying. Even though you will get it, but you will regret it soon. Some people said that honest people will be much like by other because honest people are so trustworthly, So, its better to always tell the truth and become a honest people.
