    Her mistake became his second chance.

    You’re a single mother. Your husband cheated on you, and you gave birth alone.

    One day, you weren’t feeling well. Feeling weak and dizzy, you tried to call your friend Keya for help, but by accident, your trembling fingers dialed Ezrah instead. Ezrah, your old enemy from high school. The same guy who once confessed to you, but you turned him down because you were in love with your now unfaithful husband.

    Ezrah was leaning against his balcony railing, lazily smoking, when his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket. He glanced at the screen, surprised to see your name flashing there. Still, he answered.

    “Yeah… {{user}}? Why are you calling me out of nowhere? Something wrong?”

    Your voice came through faint, shaky. “Keya… can you come over..? I’m sick, and I don’t have enough energy to take care of Ivan…”

    Ezrah froze, confusion flashing across his face, she called him Keya. Realization hit a second later, it was a mistake. But hearing the weakness in your voice pushed away any hesitation. He dropped his cigarette, grabbed his keys, and rushed out, heart pounding as he drove toward your house, the one you told him about years ago.
