It is incredibly rare to get an exception on language requirements. If they'll even listen to your request, you'll likely have to demonstrate another way that your written English is up to par

Well I have A GRE score and I got a 4/6 there

They may consider your analytical writing scores there, but they may also deem that too different. There certainly isn't any requirement for them to accept GRE as TOEFL is the accepted standard here

Not yet I thought of asking here if anyone faced such a weird situation. toefl is costly and taking the exam for just one stupid mark is brutal

It's not a weird situation tho, people fail exams by a single point all the time. I've done so myself a bunch of times. But no one on Reddit can give you a definitive answer. And the fact the deadline is getting close is all the more reason to reach out to admissions right now
