On rainy days, when Rizal stayed at home, Gettie would come up to help him mixing colors for his painting and assisting in preparing clay for sculpting.
The weather isn't nice, so I'm just doing my usual indoor work.
Sure! Do what you please, Gettie.
Time goes by so fast when they are with each other. They would end the day enjoying it...
Hello, Rizal. What are you up to today?
Well, then let me help you with your work.
As their flirtation was fast approaching the point of no return, Rizal suddenly realized that he cannot marry Gettie for he had a mission to fulfill in life.
I cannot do this. Choosing my own happiness over my country’s suffering is not what I want to fulfill. I cannot leave them alone in misery.
He cannot let his emotions overcome his obsession of fulfilling his mission to institute reforms in his country...
Rizal was forced to leave London because Gertrude’s feelings for him had turned serious.
With that he leaves London for her to forget and flies to Paris…
I’m sorry but I have to leave. For you to move on and be happy someday. You don’t deserve me, Gettie. Adios.
