I. Introduction

A. Nutshell in a paper

This story starts when Dante and his mother Nanang go back to their old house to find his
certificates for being best in math in elementary and high school but instead of certificate, they
saw a voice tape owned by his uncle Ato. He still remembers the things happened to his uncle. By
the time, his uncle decided to get married until they build a small house for his family. They live
with a simple life until his wife decided to go to Abu Dhabi to work. He sells his land to get some
money that is needed by his wife.
One morning, when Dante is on his way school, he heard a scream so he ran as fast as he
could to get home. He told his mother what he saw. He felt nervous because he taught his friend
is the one in danger but he was wrong, his uncle died in that accident. One day, when he and his
mother clean the house of his Uncle Ato, his mother saw a voice tape under his uncle's pillow.
His mother, his father and his Uncle Mulong are the only persons who knew the message in the
voice tape and since he has reached his right age, they let him know the message. His uncle's wife
was maltreated by her boss but his Uncle Ato doesn't have anything to do.
