Once long ago, in the time when Spain ruled Guam, there was a proud family living in Hagatna, the capital city. The father was a wealthy Spanish aristocrat and the mother was the daughter of a great Chamorro chief.
The family owned land and were highly esteemed by all, Chamorro and Spanish alike.Their daughter was a beautiful girl, admired by all for her honesty, modesty, and perfectly natural charm. Her beauty bestowed the greatest pride and dignity unto her family.
One day Crystal overheard her father arranging for her to take a powerful Spanish captain as her
husband. When Crystal discovered this, she was so
distraught that she ran from Hagatna all the way to the north of Guam until she found a secluded and peaceful shore,
Where she had met and fell in love with a young man who comes from a modest chamorro family , his name was Chresanto , he was very gentle with a strong built who had eyes that search for meanings in the stars .
When crystals father had found out about the two lovers He grew very angry and demanded his daughter to marry the captain at once . That day at sundown crystal took off to the shore where she had met chresanto ,her chamorro lover.
Her father , the captain & his men's pursured the lovers up to the high cliff of tumon bay. The lovers found themselves trapped between the edge of the cliff and the the captains men's. All they could do was to warn them to stay back, and the father ordered the men's to halt.
They was passionately inlove with each other that they had no choice and that would be the only way for them to be together , The lovers tied their long black hair into a single knot. And acting as if they were entirely alone, they looked deeply into each other’s eyes and kissed for the final time. Then they leaped over the long, deep cliff into the roaring waters below.
Crystal's father and all who had remained rushed to the edge to stare in great anguish.
Since that day, Chamorros have looked to the jutting peak above Tumon Bay with reverence. The two lovers remain a symbol of true love – a love in which two souls are entwined forever in life and in death. Forever after, the high point on the cliff was known as Two Lovers Point.
