Losing

There was a time when I had it, the art of lieing. I was the queen or to-be-queen of lieing and today it was I killed my own world of my fame. So there i was reading shopaholic "ties the knot".
Yess I'm reading it NOW. I wasn't interested but since it was lieing around why not waste my time reading tht then cleaning my closet.
Anyways I was reading the book and those who know it I am at the part where i was busy cussing Elinor for being such a biatch and betraying Luke
And the phone rings, I look up with annoyance that WHY at the climax part do they have to call, how do they all know it, is it the works of UFOs?
I hate PHONEs that ringg [..and our home phone rings all the time, I just wish if we could keep home phones on silent juss like cell phones]
So I get up from the couch trying to finish the sentence while letting the phone ring once....twice....thrice..and.."Hello" and there it was the voice, it was as if my body ran into the off guard emergency drill melt down--- DADDD-- on the other line
So he goes"Haann..koi online kyoun nahin hai skype per"[Translation: why isnt anyone online on Skype].. Uh oh ..hmm i could just say "moms not hope and i dont feel like going online so too bad stuff happens deal with it like I do"..OR NOT.. not such a good idea.
The issue was mom was not home and she said the famous "Dont tell your dad where I am" and after she says it a normal way of dealing with dad would be coming up with a perfect lie, practicing it twice or thrice in the mirror.Come up with the possible questions like where could she be and the usual interrogative questions of my dad..which makes me wonder whyy isnt he in some investigating career.But this time it was different, it totally slipped out of my mind!!!
Well, there I was with my book in one hand and the phone receiver in the other and my mind have a meltdown I say out of ALL the things in this world "Oh Mom's not home".
Yeah. Then came the questions. "Where did she go?" asked dad.
I freak out more "She went with Fareeha" ..Nooooooo I wasn't suppose to say THAT.. Fareeha, my sister, she goes to pick up my little sister from school WHY on EARTH would my mom go with her until and unless there is something wrong with my sister.Great.
Naturally my dad asks,"Why did she go with her, is everything ok?"
Panic! Panic! Trying to acting normal, "yep, everything is fine"-- "then why did she (my mom) go with fareeha"-
Ahh Fuk! it's not like its my cell that I can pretend I'm not getting any reception.
THINK....stupid book!!!!! think... " Dad everything is fine, I'll come online, I forgot mom wasnt home so i didnt come online" SHIT!! I mentioned it again..
"Okay then"- says dad.
Yes yes, I have time to think of some excuse. Must run to Amber and ask her for an excuse.
Yep! and that was the moment, I could feel the song in the background, "My baby SHOT me down" I wasnt able to think of a sweet break-free lie.
Sigh-!
