"Of course I can't do that. I need my smartphone to get the informations from my boss and check the reports of transactions," Lani said, "I work in a bank. We need the gadget more than your profession."
After debating, finally, Leo agreed to lend his smartphone. Case closed. April until July 2020, there was nothing strange happened.
But, in August 2020, the 'secret', the lie was appeared.
Lani said to Bu Sinta (not a real name), the class teacher, that Donald could not attend the online class because Leo had to go to work as a lawyer. His husband needed a smartphone for his work.
But she was surprised when Bu Sinta said, "Donald is present in the Zoom, Ma'am."
After investigating, Lani got the fact that Leo bought the smartphone for their son, Donald, without the permission of Lani as his mother. Lani didn't agree at the first time when Leo told that he wants to buy a smartphone for Donald, because Lani didn't want Donald to become a lazy and game addicted person like their nephew, Tom.Â
The fact was Leo broke his promise. Leo bought a smartphone for Donald in April 2022 and he warned their son not to tell the truth to Lani. And The lie was uncovered in August 2020
Four months lie.
How to be honest
To be honest in this wild world is not easy. There are many people who wear "masks" to hide their real faces. Lies spread like the atmosphere. It is difficult to differentiate between honest and dishonest.
So, in my opinion, there are three things that are very important to do to make the honesty real in this world.
1. Start from ourselves
It is useless to blame the others' mistakes. It wastes our time to complaint about how corrupt a few people in the government institutions.
