Gravity of Truth in Our Life

In words  of Thomas Hardy "If an offense come out of the truth,better is it that the offense come than the truth be concealed ".
When we are kids we all have natural tendency of telling the truth, later when we grow up, we observe  that people around us our peers, friends relatives  they aren't always telling the truth. We get confused why they are hiding the facts and manipulating things in their own way. That's the time when we learned how creative people get rid of various offenses by hiding the truth. When we hide truth within us it creates some stress  some time we notice it, some time we don't.
But, Is it correct to hide the truth or twist it for our own interest. Let me share one incident of my life where I had a huge dilemma weather to tell the truth or hide it and what will be the right thing to do ?
During second year of my computer engineering, I needed a laptop for my minor project. I asked my father that it's very important for my studies and I need to buy one as soon as possible. He agreed to give money for laptop, I bought one in few day's and was so excited about my new laptop. I used to carry it ,to my college for presentations. One day in college while presentation  my laptop fell incidentally & got damaged. When I checked the display it was completely broken,I immediately took it to service center were they said the new screen  and repairing will cost around 15 thousand .I was shocked , what I will tell to my father it was only 15 day's since I purchased it.I got so stressed and   worried about  my final presentation in coming month. Fear of telling the truth and not completing the minor project on time was causing so much internal trauma.Finally I decided to lie about my broken laptop and asked my father to give 15 thousand for campus placement coaching which I was never going to attend. This was the biggest lie, I have ever told to my parents. My father was happy to see my concern towards campus placement and next day he deposited the money. Within one week of time I got my laptop repaired, next month minor project presentation also went well,but still there was some regret and mental stress within me which was making me unhappy about everything. One day my father called me asked about how my campus coaching and preparation is going on,I got voiceless,I had no answer to his questions ,suddenly guilt of lying made me burst and I told him the truth about my damage laptop, I explained him about my fear,initially he got angry and hanged up the phone, later in evening he called me and said"It's OK son ,no need to worry".I felt so relaxed and realized "Kitna chain hota hai na sachhai mein".I thanked my dad promised  that I will never lie to him.
"Sometimes when telling the truth could get us into trouble, we tend to lie or omit details to avoid it. Although this seems like a great temporary solution, it weighs on our conscience "
