Really? She told me that she was going to sleep over there.
BEING CARING
Please don't get mad at her, tita. Maybe she's just scared to tell you the truth. That's why she lied about where she was going.
Okay, Jae. Thank you for telling me the truth.
I chose to be honest with my friend's mom because I didn't want to ruin her trust in me, mainly because we are very close. Also, I didn't wish to mislead her and give her false information about her daughter's whereabouts.
Integrity requires courage and the inner strength to do and say the right thing, even if it costs our friendship. Despite the pressure, I chose to be brave and told my friend's mom the truth because she needed to know where her daughter was.
I told her mom the truth because I care about her and not because I'm a killjoy. I don't want her lying to ruin her relationship with her mom. Also, I chose to be honest because I'm worried that something might happen, and her mom knows she's staying with me even though she's not. Her mom will be concerned and mad at the same time. I care about her and her mom so much that I don't want that situation to ruin their relationship with each other because a small lie can turn into a big fight.
