Segunda is a pretty fourteen year old lady Bataqueña from Lipa was the second girlfriend of Rizal. She was rather short, with eyes that were eloquent, ardent at times, 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 charm. One Sunday Rizal visited his maternal grandmother who lived in Trozo, Manila. He was accompanied by his friend Mariano Katigbak. His old grandmother was friend of the Katigbak Family from Lipa. When he reached his grandmother's house, he saw other guest. One of whom was an attractive girl, who was mysteriously caused his heart to palpitate with strange ecstasy. She was the sister of his friend Mariano, and her name was Segunda. Rizal came to know Segunda more intimate during his weekly visits at La Concordia College, where his sister Olimpia was a boarding student. Olimpia was a friend of Segunda. It was apparent that Rizal and Segunda loved each other. Their was indeed "Love At First Sight." But It was hopeless since the very beginning because Segunda was engaged to Manuel Luz.
