The lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and amid the uniform and loud singing of the birthday song, Alexis put her hands together, made a wish, and then blew out the twenty birthday candles on the cake in one breath.
As the candles were blown out, the atmosphere in the entire birthday party instantly reached its climax. The sounds of joyful cheers and firecrackers filled the air, turning the hall into a sea of fun and bliss along with falling confetti.
Next, Alexis made the first cut on the tall birthday cake, after which someone took the knife from her and cut the cake into smaller slices. Each slice of cake was placed on an exquisite plate before being served to the guests.
Now, the highlight and main segment of the party was over. Next, it was time for Alexis's friends and relatives to present her with the gifts they brought.
