Three seconds

I would call this story "Three Seconds."

Three years ago an unusual bell rang.
Hello, I answered
The girl asks: -Hello, is this Kursk Abortion?
I answer cautiously, not understanding how to understand such a question - and where are you calling?
The girl says she is calling on an ad!
I ask, on what announcement?
The girl says that on the Internet, at the request of abortion in Kursk, my number was displayed.
And only then I understand what is happening, I say: - so you want to have an abortion? She says, “Yes!”
I understand that this is a chance, I understand that I have a few seconds to quickly give out a couple of phrases, such phrases, to make the person on the other end of the tube maybe think something. A few phrases come to mind: “You got it right! I am the one who dissuades from killing children! Your idea, this is a crime against your own child, believe me, you will later regret and it is better for you to abandon this venture! ”She hung up with the phrase:“ I'm sorry! ”
Then I thought, well, at least I tried to do everything that depended on me, then the choice is hers.
How? By what miracle did my number get on the Internet for “abortion in Kursk”? I can’t imagine how much I didn’t try to drive such queries in the search, and did not find my contacts.
But I liked the idea, create fake ads on abortion and enter your contacts)
I remember, then I wrote a note on this mysterious call in defense of children's lives.
Three years have passed since then.
Talking with people about prolife (the anti-abortion movement) the other day, I was asked a question: did I manage to dissuade at least one woman from abortion? Then I thought, it’s interesting to find out for myself, because I really didn’t think about it somehow , yes, talked with women, read numerous lectures to students and schoolchildren, wrote articles.
The answer came the next day!
That my note about the mysterious call yesterday came to the very woman who called me three years ago! And here is what she writes to me:
“I called you that day! And after talking with you, I refused an abortion. I gave birth to a 4th child ... and this little happiness is now for our family, it is something more than just a child! I had a wonderful boy! Thank you, thank you for being !!! ”

But one could answer “You were mistaken by number” or “You didn’t get there”
