First Romance of Rizal
After the graduation from Ateneo, Rizal who was just sixteen years old, experienced his first romance with Segunda Katigbak, a pretty fourteen-year old Batangueña from Lipa. In his own words: "She was rather short, with eyes that were eloquent and ardent at times and languid at others, rosy-cheeked, with an enchanting and provocative smile that revealed very beautiful teeth, and the air of a sylph; her entire self diffused a mysterious char."One Sunday Rizal visited his maternal grandmother who lived in Trozo. His grandmother's guests, who were mostly college students, knew of his skill in painting, so they urged him to draw Segunda's portrait. He complied reluctantly and made a pencil sketch of her. "From time to time", he reminisced later, "she looked at me, and I blushed."
