The Biggest Lie In The World
I was playing Ludo with Taffy, as usual. It was 9 o’clock, and the day is about to end. Although she is seven years younger than me, she is a good competitor but today luck is with me, my last token has just entered into the token base and she still has three to go. “Have you ever thought what is the biggest crime in the world?” Taffy asked curiously. Why you are asking it at this time when it doesn’t make any sense to ask?.” You are supposed to answer me, don’t question me back”, she said annoyingly. Possibly it could be breaking someone’s heart, exterminating someone’s right, or wasting time like we both are doing right now. “We are not wasting our time, we are discussing a meaningful thing”, she said. For God’s Sake, there is no point of meaningful here, it has been discussed several times In the world by several people but no one is even able to build up a mutual answer it’s a valueless question.” So you mean we should discuss something that has never been even discussed in the world before?. Yeah, perhaps it would be more exciting to discuss”. Ok, I have one such untouched question but first let me drink a glass of water, I am dehydrated”. Make sure to come fast it’s about to hit 10 and we had to sleep soon.” Yeah sure”, she screamed from the kitchen”. Meanwhile, I heard the sound of the clinking of glass. I think she has dropped the glass, she is so negligent.” So my question is” Taffy entering into the room while dabbing her face with her shirt “What is the biggest lie in the world? I mean no one has ever talked about it”. Hmmm, what it could be? I mumbled to myself setting the last token out of the board, Hurray it’s a Hatrick, I took the victory again constantly third time In a row. Now make your bed and go to sleep we are getting late “But you have to answer me first”, she said. It’s a difficult question I need time to think about it, we will discuss it tomorrow, Good night. I proceeded to the kitchen to have my hot lemon water, I felt something under my foot and that was the glass broken into two half pieces lying on the floor which has now broken into tiny pieces under my foot. It’s too dark now, mom will clean it up later by herself, I should go and sleep.
“Get up, both of you careless girls”, Dad said taking off the blanket from our faces and pulling my arm towards him”, What happened, Dad? It’s just 5 a.m. right now why are you waking us at this time? ” Get up, and come outside I will tell you what the mess you ridiculous girls have made ”. Taffy do you know why he is yelling at us in early 5 a.m., he is looking so furry have you done something? “I don’t know, we should move now until his anger went uncontrollable”, she said. Yeah sure, our day is going to ruin today. ”Who broke the glass and left it in the center of the passage? Your mother is harshly injured and she has been bleeding for half an hour”, Dad asked infuriatingly. I could feel his anger inside of me I felt so terrified and so is Taffy because Dad is so bad at giving punishments, he always cut our pocket money for such mistakes which are already a few dollars, if this happened I would not be able to purchase my favorite scent and have to wait for the next month. ” I don’t know anything dad, I went to sleep at 10 o clock and woke up now, Roma went into the kitchen to have her lemon water she might have done this”, Taffy said gaspingly. No Dad she is lying I heard the voice of Smash when she went to drink water, I swear I had not done anything it was her. “Silence girls, you both visit my room after an hour, “he said. What is the point of calling us after an hour I mean he could sort out the matter now, maybe he needs time to think about the worst punishment.
After an hour when we knocked and entered his room, I can see him relaxed and calm as if nothing has happened, as he decided to forgive us .” Do you know what is the biggest lie in the world?”, without saying anything he put a question in front of us. Taffy and I both looked at each other astonishingly,” That’s what I asked her yesterday”, said Taffy “So did you get the answer or not?”. No, I muttered. “It’s not that difficult my girls, think about the whole situation that has just happened to us and you will get your answer”, he says smoothly and calmly as all of his anger has flown away. I started to consider the whole situation with the question, meanwhile, all of a sudden Taffy busted,” You mean the lie we just told about breaking the glass?”. “Yes, exactly”. But how it could be the biggest lie in the world like it was just a small mistake we both did and we both lied in front of you to escape your rage, how it could be the biggest lie? “Even though it was a small mistake and it was a small lie it was such a small lie that even a case cannot be filed against you, but at the same time the lie was the biggest lie in the world”. “But dad how?”, asked Taffy frustratingly.” Listen, girls, the one who doesn’t accept his mistake and keeps blaming each other is the biggest liar in the world, you might not have done such a big mistake but you guys just became the worst liar in the world likewise the worst criminal ”.Dad I am so sorry I feel so guilty it’s me who broke the glass first I should not blame her for this it’s me who is more guilty and at the same time I became the worst liar, I feel so bad” said Taffy, ashamedly. But it was me who left the shattered glass on the passageway and didn’t clean it I am the elder one it was my responsibility to clean it I feel so ashamed I injured my mom, I didn’t admit it because I was afraid that you could deduct my pocket money. I could feel my tears streaking down my cheeks.” No girls, you don’t need to worry or excuse because you have realized your mistake now”. Thanks, Dad, we both mumbled. “Now girls, say out loud with me,
