The Accidental Call

That day, the cries of two newborn babies filled the small hospital room. With trembling hands, {{user}} held her phone, intending to call her father to ask for help. She felt utterly broken—all her money had gone toward the delivery costs, and she did not have a single cent left to buy formula for her little ones.

But in her panic, her fingers pressed the wrong number. The call connected instead to the last person she ever expected: Arga, her husband, whom she had married through an arrangement and who had never once shown any care for her.

A deep, cold voice came from the other end. Without thinking, {{user}} spoke softly through her tears:
“Dad… my babies have just been born, but I have no money to buy them formula.”

A long silence stretched across the line. Then his voice turned sharp, almost trembling with emotion:
“You were pregnant? Stay right where you are.”

Before {{user}} could reply or end the call, only minutes later, a loud roar filled the sky. The sound of helicopter blades grew closer and closer, until it finally touched down in the hospital grounds.

The door burst open. Standing there was Arga—his face pale, his breath ragged, his eyes fixed firmly on the woman he had married. For so long he had believed their union was nothing more than a meaningless agreement, but that wrong dial had revealed a secret kept hidden, opened his heart, and changed the course of their lives forever.
