Alif's Promotion

Alif's Promotion

An English Narrative Assignment

It was Monday. Alif was preparing himself for work. He worked on a company called PT Blur ID, which was a company for food packaging. After dressing up, he went downstairs to meet his family. "Honey, I don't know why, but I feel so passionate today! It's like I'm on literal fire! But good fire. Does that make sense?" His wife smiled and replied, "Ah, maybe it's because of this letter? Have you read it?" she gave him a torn letter. "What's that smile all about? Is this another prank of yours?" "Oh just shut up and read it, you fool." He followed her instructions.

Dear Alif Rowntree,
Due to your dedication for your company, we decided that it is best to promote you as the new director of PT Blur ID. Congratulations! We hope that you will continue your great work.

Signed,
Graham Coxon

Alif teared up. No, this time it wasn't a joke. The signature was very real. It was really the signature of his boss Graham Coxon. "This is so surreal. I-I mean, it c-can't be!" Alif stuttered. "Honey, congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" she immediately hugged him. "Now come, eat this pancake and go to work. We're gonna celebrate tonight! I will cook your favorite goopy carbonara!"

After he arrived to work, he noticed that there were a crowd in the parking lot. He investigated and found out that the crowd were his work friends. "What are you all doing here? Shouldn't we all work?" Alif asked. "It's not work time yet, Alif. Hurry, absent is on there! We already got permission from Mr. Coxon anyway!" Ivan shouted at him. He hurrily absent in case he forgot, and returned to his friends. "Why are you guys on the parking lot anyway?"

"CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR PROMOTION, ALIF!!"

Alif was shocked once again. His friends already knew that he was promoted! The news sure spread fast. He couldn't believe this sight. "Come here, Mr. Director!" said Ivan with humorous tone.

"Alif, congratulations. You deserved it, man." said Samuel. Alif smiled at him and replied, "Thank you very much. This is because you always help me." He sure was a very humble person. Sinta came over Alif as well and said, "I'm very happy for you, Alif! Now that you are the director of the company, I believe the company will develop even faster." Alif smiled due to her compliment, and happily replied, "Thank you. I can't forget your collaboration with me, and I will still need your help." Others followed to praise him as well, since he is the right man for this job. They also wished him luck and shook his hand. "You must be very proud of your achievement!" Ivan said. "Thanks, but I still have to learn a lot." he replied with generous tone. His staffs congratulated him as well. "Now let's eat lunch together for Alif!" Samuel shout, and it was replied with cheers from everyone.
