The Other Side of Truth- Why does Sade feel bad about Hiding the Truth?

Sade feels bad about hiding the truth when they arrive in London because the truth would help them to be reunited with their dad or find their Uncle Dele but they are prevented to say the truth as their papa has not safely arrived in London. This is demonstrated when Sade and Femi are interviewed by Mama Appiah. Sade is very hesitant about what to tel the social workers, "Part of her wanted to tell Mama Appiah the whole truth, including that she had given Iyaw0-Jenny a false surname. But fear stopped her. When papa was safely in England then it would be different..." (p.85). Sade wants to tell the truth so she can have assistance with finding Uncle Dele and be reunited with her father, however she bellieves its too risky as her father had not arrived in London and this prevented her from speaking the truth. This is why she feels bad. Sade is hiding her identity as she doesnt want to risk her fathers life.

Thanks:)
