Ghosted Meme Mga Nobela at Kwento

… As soon as I opened the door to the private dining room, I heard a pop, and confetti began raining down on both Cecily and me. Smiling, Ian came over and gave me a friendly punch. "Not one word from you in two whole years! If I hadn't known you'd joined the research lab, I would've filed a missing person report with the police!" Everyone else in the room laughed and began teasing me. "He's right, you know. Two years ago, you disappeared into thin air right after informing us the wedding was canceled. We wouldn't have known what happened to you if Ian didn't tell us. What kind of a friend are you anyway?"

All through Saturday and into Sunday, I called the number, but he didn't pick up. I sent text messages, telling him it was me, but he never replied back. Not once. By Sunday, I'd begun to feel worried if the maid had given me the wrong number. But then, I doubted she would play tricks with me, because she could have simply insisted on her 'No'. This now left me with one explanation: I had been GHOSTED. The realization left me mystified. What went wrong? I thought there was an attraction we'd been hitting it off.

The moment she swiped it open, pop-up messages from work, family, and friends buzzed through her device, and the vibrations almost made her fingers numb for a second. *You were one of MMA’s promising reporters. That's too bad. Either way I hope you find happiness in another job.’ Mr. Kelvin. *Your flight to Russia has been cancelled, ma’am. We hope to serve you best next time.* Skywest Airlines. *Evelyn told me you decided to move in with your new boyfriend and even quit your job. Are you okay, sweetie?* From Granny *Hey, call me when you get this. I'm really worried you ghosted me and everyone else.* Mason.

Routed everything through the VPN, bounced it six ways to Sunday, then logged into the dead-drop account I hadn’t touched in over a year. Ghost protocol. An old forum buried under layers of encryption, the kind my old crew used back when we were just kids fucking around in the dark web for fun and survival money. I posted the signal: a single line of nonsense code that only meant something to the right people. Then I waited. Twenty minutes, forty. My leg bounced under the desk while I chewed on my thumbnail. Finally, a reply popped up. No names, no direct messages. Just a file drop with a single encrypted note attached.

Like the air itself was holding its breath.

TENANT GROUP CHAT: 2D (Luca): oh look the newlyweds are online 3A (Ester): does that mean they survived 4C: if they start knocking boots during the storm I am using earplugs I swear to god Ember nearly threw her phone across the room. “Ghost,” she hissed, “fix this.” He leaned over her shoulder just far enough to read the screen. “No,” he said simply. She stared at him like he’d grown a second head. “No?” Another message pinged. Luca: did he carry you bridal style or what

A new message arrived, so I went back to the message area and saw that the mysterious person was online. Phantompurse sent you a message ‘Hey, you're online but you didn't even reply to my last messages. Are you ghosting me?’ Do I look like a ghost? Damn this person. Instead of ignoring it, I got angrier. Who is this crazy person? [Me] ‘Hello. Sorry but this is my first time using this app. It happened to d******d on my phone. I'm not really sure how to use this though.’ I quickly pressed the send button and bit my nail. The message was seen immediately, and I saw the typing indicator. Does this person have nothing better to do?

The ghost icon that indicated the other party was online wasn’t even there which meant the person had likely not open his chat. Another two minutes passed with Asher just staring at his laptop, he jolted towards the laptop when he saw the ghost icon appear. The icon stayed still for another two minutes and Asher’s stomach twisted in knots at the anxiety of waiting, the other party finally started typing and Asher’s anxiety decreased. winkyelfofaer: redsun? I’ll kill that dude, who are you and what do you want? And your nickname The will of Aura? Cute. Asher contemplated for a while about whether to tell them his real name or not, he decided to say it because what exactly did he have to lose.

Mentions, messages, tags. My stomach tightened as I opened one. It was a meme caricature of my old picture. There was a poop emoji on top of my head, my brown eyes were replaced with a red laser, and a boldly written text on the picture said ‘SLUT’. I groaned and locked my phone immediately. But it was too late. I’d already seen it. Another buzz. Then another. Curiosity got the better of me again. I saw a particular message from a private page in my DM.

I took a shower, wrapped a towel around myself and by the time I came back out, I had five messages three from Alessandro and two from Ghost. Ignoring Alessandro's messages, I clicked on Ghost's. ╭───────────────╮ Me: Got plans tonight? ╰───────────────╯ ╭───────────────╮ Ghost: Oh, she remembers me. ╰───────────────╯ ╭───────────────╮ Ghost: Even if I was busy, you really think I'd turn you down, Red? ╰───────────────╯
