Aster and Ellie continue to exchange messages.
Even though it is from Ghost messenger, it feels so real.
It was like they were talking to each other personally.
And this time, Ellie speaks from the heart.
She is letting Aster feel how special she is to Ellie.
Smith corona: hey Aster Flores
But Aster didn't reply the whole night.
Ellie thinks she was just busy, maybe.
But the next day still no reply.
So Ellie did something to know what was going on with Aster.
Paul: trig announce about the wedding.
And Aster was also ok with it.
Ellie: that's impossible Aster doesn't want to be married to him
Paul: maybe she changes her mind. And trig loves her.
Ellie: no
Paul; you have to accept it, Ellie, or else you will just hurt yourself
Ellie: I'm not going to give up on her.
Paul: you know it's wrong.
Ellie: what was wrong with loving someone?
Paul: girls meant for boys.
That's the law of God
Ellie: will I don't believe in God.
So I will never stop liking Aster
Paul: come on, Ellie, it's done now.
She's going to be married to trig, and nothing can stop it. even you and your feelings for her
Ellie stops messaging Paul. She was disgusted.
Paul: I'm just concerned about you. And I'm always here, Ellie, .even just a friend.
Ellie shakes her head while reading Paul's message.
Maybe that's the reason why aster stop messaging her.
Ellie: hi aster Flores,
I'm sending you this message as Ellie chu.
Are you serious about marrying trig? Is it your choice?
I thought you already know what you want for yourself? But I guess you still depend on someone's words. That made me sad.
Knowing that you'll be in life, I'm sure you will never going to be happy. You still have time, Aster. Just think about it. Is this the boldest stroke that you can make?
While sending that message, Ellie wasn't sure if Aster could read it, or maybe she won't.
But at least Ellie tried.
Days passed by...no Aster Flores.
So Ellie just thought it was it. It was the end of all hopes.
And then suddenly
"1 ghost message from ASTER FLORES."
Aster: hey! Sorry I haven't read your messages lately.
I've been so confused about everything.
Yes, it is true. I and trig are going to get married. And all was settled except for my feelings.
I don't know what to do. I wish I have someone to talk to right now.
Smith corona: what happened to Diego Rivero?
Aster: seriously? That's your concern right now?
Smith Corona: I'm sorry,
Aster: can I disappear?
Smith corona; no! I won't let that happen.
Aster; I think it was the right thing to do now. Just disappear. I want aster Flores to vanished.
Smith corona: I don't want to lose Aster Flores.
Aster: it won't help Ellie. I'm so hopeless now.
And maybe this is the last time I'm going to talk to you or anybody.
Smith corona; wait, what???
Aster: I'm sorry, Ellie. Take care
Smith: no! Aster!
Aster?
Aster come on
Aster, I love you
Aster, please.
😭
