"Hmm, what a good wish?" Miska put on a face as if she was thinking.

"Bro, you have everything has been realized, so I'm confused about what to wish. Ah yeah I know, I hope your child will be beautiful like me." Miska winked, teasing her sister.

"Hopefully so because I told my manager to arrange my schedule, I didn't promise if I could come." Miska put on a sluggish face because she remembered her busy shooting schedule. 

"It's always like this, every time I have a birthday party, you will never attend. Anyway, you don't want to know you have to come tonight, you don't accept any excuses."

"Hmm, okay boss" grumbled Miska, rolling her eyes.
