loved Rizal back.
-They talked one last time on a Thursday, in December.
-They said their goodbyes. After a while, Rizal found
out that the transport of Segunda’s journey will not
land in its designated area. Rizal hurried to that place
just to wave his hat to her as she waved her
handkerchief to him. She eventually married Manuel
Luz while Rizal was left at home, an already hopeless
romantic.
-Three Years Later, he made a poem dedicated to his
first love. 
