Maria Clara and Tiya Isabel attends early morning church, but comes back home right after.
Maria Clara is sewing when she hears a car outside, followed by the voice of Ibarra. In a panic, she goes to her room, where Tiya Isabel helps her freshen up and makes her look presentable before she faces Ibarra.
Ibarra and Maria Clara then has a romantic reunion by the terrace. Maria Clara asks him if he's forgotten her because of the many girls he might have met abroad, and Ibarra answers that he can never forget her, for she is always on his mind.
Maria Clara then brings out a letter than Ibarra had given her before he left for Europe. She reads this out loud, and it states Don Rafael's reason for sending Ibarra to another country: he wanted Ibarra to learn about life from other places so that he may serve the Philippines one day. After Maria Clara reads the letter, Ibarra remembers that he has something important to do.
Analysis:
Rizal illustrates true love in this chapter. Maria Clara and Ibarra, though apart for so long, still remember their love for each other, and have even kept mementos from each other in the past.
