The three friends talked a lot as they had a lot to catch up and it was evening before Rosa and Zhou Zhili decided to leave. It had been a great reunion of sorts. Wu Lina was given thousands of instructions on how to take care of babies once they are out.
Before leaving Rosa said, "Wu Lina, I won't be able to come and meet sooner. However, I will come the day you will get in labor. Just inform me, okay? Also I wanted to ask you one thing – it is a small request… and you are allowed to decline it…"
Wu Lina found Rosa a little strange. She said, "Go ahead Rosa, I would love to hear what you want to say."
Rosa hesitated, but she continued after a minute, "If one of your babies is a baby girl, would you consider giving her hand in marriage to my son Ivan?"
Wu Lina looked at her in bewilderment.
