The Tradition of Destiny
01
A tradition that has been maintained since hundreds of years ago, and has been lived by hundreds of descendants from the noble Gongzie family. A very wealthy and powerful noble family in the east. The tradition that stipulates that girls are not entitled to any inheritance from the Gongzie family property, especially when the girl is married, then the parents no longer have any obligation to her, the parents no longer have any obligation to her, financially or everything. A daughter must be married at the age of 20 years with a maximum deadline until the age of 25 years, if she is also married, then right on her 25th birthday, he was obliged to accept an arranged marriage with any man whom his family had determined, and marry him and then leave the Gongzie extended family.
What about the fate determined for the male descendants in the Gongzie family? of course, to benefit the offspring of the man in the famous family, if he is the first boy then he is entitled to get 50% of all the wealth of his parents, he said, if he is the second or third boy and so on then the remaining wealth should be divided equally according to the number of remaining boys.
The first boy is obliged and entitled to be the leader of all companies owned by his parents, while the others can only be limited to the head of the department or just ordinary staff, but there is one provision for boys in the Gongzie family, that they are all obligated and required to marry women who are equal to nobility as well or even more powerful than the Gongzie nobility. There is no freedom in choosing a partner for the sons of the Gongzie family, because their ancestral principle is that love will grow as their time together in the household, **** it can be done without love to get offspring.

HYLEN SANTOSO THE GREAT.
a daughter of a descendant of the Gongzie family, who was not even allowed to obtain and wear the Gongzie surname on her last name. He is currently 22 years old, a scholar in the field of Catering.
He must be able to have a good career and collect his own coffers if he does not want to be poor later. Hylen was well aware that soon was the age limit for her to marry and she had to get out of the Gongzie family, the family she had been with since birth.
"HYLENE!! WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?!! QUICKLY COOK!!! THE GUESTS ARE STARVING!!!"" shouted a head chef when he entered the kitchen of the luxury restaurant, just for a moment and then came out again.
"is he blind?! what is he seeing me doing?! this is also me cooking with my teacher's hands! huh!"
inner Hylen grumbled at Chef Head's Wring.
Kling.Klings.
"Table 2,3,5, ready!" hylen exclaimed as he pressed the bell calling for the waiter to immediately serve the dish.
"Hilen! get to the latest order! I'm setting up tables 7 and 8!" exclaim Jojo, Hylen's co-worker.
"okay Jojo, may we be saved tonight." said Hylen eagerly looking into the list of the latest orders from the monitor screen, and immediately returned to the stove to continue cooking dishes that have been ordered.
Hylen continues to cook endlessly with JoJo and assisted by his junior chefs, they must be alert in cooking but must not miss the cleanliness and taste of the cuisine.
Three hours had all the crowds of restaurant guests were relentlessly continue to make the kitchen team relentlessly also process the cuisine. After the restaurant's operating hours ended, Hylen now sat on the kitchen floor that had been cleaned by his junior chef. Hylen's legs were straightened forward, while his back was leaning against the large oven leg behind him. Jojo was sitting in the same position next to him, they both turned to each other and smiled widely together followed by a big breath of exhaustion from all the pressure of work earlier.
"huuufft...! tonight we're saved." said Hylen
"yes, but this is only the first day of the holiday season, this hotel restaurant will be the arrival of thousands of tourists during these two months.so, we must always be ready every night." said Jojo
"may the bald fat guy not look - just look for trouble with me" said Helen.
"Ehem! you guys talking about me?" reprimanding a baritone voice shocked the two especially Hylen.
Jojo immediately stood up nervous and anxious, while Hylen was still in his position sitting on the floor while closing his eyes, not indifferent but he resigned.
"sorry sir, we just rest for a while before going home" said Jojo lowered his head
"who among you two made the dumpling for the VIP table order?" ask the head chef.
"i.." said Hylen reluctantly.
"He was very satisfied with your dumpling as well as the guests he invited earlier" said the head chef
"thank you." said Hylen still casually.
"He's still at his desk and asked to do another dumpling. Quickly work!" chief chef's orders.
"God! doesn't he know that it's time for our resto to close?! tomorrow he'll come back here again." reject Helen.
"Hyleeennn.....!!!!" the voice boomed furiously with Hylen's reply.
"eh sir, let me make it for him, wait a moment." said Jojo relented.
"you?! all right, hurry up and do it like that!" said the head chef and then came back out of the kitchen.
after a few minutes, Jojo's dumpling is ready to be served, then taken out by a junior chef who has not gone home too.
One minute, two minutes...
BRAAAKKK!!!
The kitchen door was opened from the outside.
YOANGGG!!!
A plate floated up and stopped right in front of Hylen who had just stood up to see who had opened the kitchen door violently. Some dumpling was strewn around Hylen.
"COOKED UP AGAIN! HYLENS! THAT GUY JUST WANTS YOUR DUMPLING!!! COOK NOW, OR ARE YOU FIRED?!!!" exclaiming the head of the chef yelling really makes the ears all hurt.
"Sir, may I know who the forced VIP guest is?" ask Hylen.
"Mr Kenjiro Gongzie, hurry up!" sahut head chef.
"Ooh, eldest brother, you've really made my life difficult!"
inner Hylen sighed.
a daughter of Gongzie, must accept the fate that they will not be known by the general public because they are not allowed to use the surname Gongzie on her last name.
Hylen immediately cooked the dumpling by force, then presented to the VIP guest.
one minute, two minutes...
the head chef returned with a smile, while fanning himself with his many tips.
"Hylen, you were called by the VIP guest" said the head chef. Hylen let out a heavy sigh, feeling annoyed.
"hurry along! if you want to get your big tips!" the head chef's orders again.
Hylen stepped lethargicly out of the kitchen and led to the VIP room of the restaurant, opening its doors and bowing his head.
"ouw I've guessed it must be Gongzie's descendants who make this dumpling, as nice as Grandma often makes it for me." said the man who sat down while crossing his legs one on the other and leaned back casually with his hands folded in front of his chest.
Kenjiro Gongzie is the first grandson of Gonzie's grandfather's lineage, the father of his father Hylen. Kenjiro's father was the eldest brother of Hylen's father of three brothers. Kenjiro is the greatest number one grandson among the descendants of the current Gongzie extended family.
"is the eldest brother done with me? I need to get home soon." said Hylen, still looking down, not staring at Kenjiro.
"Go home with me, I'll wait for you in the hotel lobby." said Kenjiro
"no need sister, here no one knows that I am also the Gongzie family, I'm afraid they will think negatively if we go home together." declined Hylen politely.
"Hylen, have you forgotten that any order that comes out of my mouth should not be rejected by anyone?" ask Kenjiro.
"i know, but I'm not your subordinate sis.so, it doesn't matter if I refuse." said Hylen remained calm.
Kenjiro looked at his cousin sharply, while Hylen kept his head down.
"alright, you be careful on the road." said Kenjiro as he stood up and fixed his suit and stepped up.
"keep yourself well, lest grandma know that her secret recipe has been used by you carelessly!" kenjiro said again as he passed beside Hylen's body.
"Wait brother! all right, I'll come with you." said Hylen immediately facing Kenjiro's back and a smile was directly on Kenjiro's face.
"i'm going to go down to the lobby immediately after cleaning myself up" said Hylen and Kenjiro continued his steps while holding his thumbs up on his head.
@ Kenjiro cars
"still always showing off wealth huh?!" hylen when Kenjiro's car just drove down the highway.
"i never show off anything, everything I wear is because I have this. You know for yourself that grandfather will never let me buy cheap things, so this is how I am, there is no intention to show off." said Kenjiro casually but instead sounded arrogant in Hylen's ear, it makes Hylen even more careless.
"yes, yes, I know who my eldest brother is, granddaughter of grandfather's pride and who is most proud whenever and wherever anyone, not even my grandfather's sons and nephews can beat you." satirical Hylen again.
Kenjiro only chuckled at Hylen's sarcastic remark, then his hands stretched out rubbing Hylen's head and scrambling his hair.
"the aarrgghh!!! keep hands! you suck!" nagel Hylen.
"it sucks but it made you fall in love, right?" kenjiro said with a laugh winning.
"grrrr....!! already! don't talk about it anymore! that was when I was stupid and innocent! just monkey love, monkey love!" hylen replied furiously, further making Kenjiro laugh and get anxious until he pinched Hylen's cheek with anxiety. Hylen was further infuriated and annoyed.
"but why haven't you had a partner yet? are you really waiting to be betrothed to an obscure man by your family?" tanya Kenjiro quipped Hylen.
Kenjiro knew for sure that his cousin's sister still loved him, until this moment Hylen still did not dare to look at Kenjiro if he was in the same room. Kenjiro is very fond of Hylen, he also always wants to protect and help Hylen compared to his other sisters. Hylen is not a spoiled figure, she is a hard-spirited woman and has strong principles of life.
Kenjiro's attitude that always loved and defended him since childhood was what finally made Hylen fall in love with him when he was a teenager.
"i'm trying, too, brother, but what else? if there is nothing suitable." lamented Hylen.
Kenjiro just smiled broadly, he was always happy to tease Hylen because it would always end with the outflow of curses from the woman's mouth.
"i'm not a match yet, what if I ask grandfather to marry us? don't we always fit in?" kenjiro's proposal instantly made Hylen freeze and spontaneously stare at Kenjiro with a wide turn.
Kenjiro's hands immediately stretched out and swept Helen's face with a chuckle.
"so seriously! how could I be so crazy as to marry you?!" said Kenjiro laughing at Hylen's shock reaction.
Hylen ended up breathing heavily, either from relief or from disappointment.
"never joke like that again! not very funny!" hylen's nagging then stared into the streets ahead. Kenjiro simply stroked Helen's head again gently.
Their journey has unwittingly reached the luxurious house of the Hylen family.
"thank you, brother, be careful on the road." said Helen then got down from Kenjiro's car and immediately ran into the house, while Kenjiro smiled broadly at Hylen until he disappeared behind the door of his house, then Kenjiro returned to drive his car.
######
the next day, at Hylen's grandfather's house.
one girl was sitting on the sofa with her head lowered, unable to resist the many pairs of eyes that were now staring intently at her.
"So now you're starting to tease your oldest brother again? huh uh?! answer me!" exclaimed grandfather asked Hylen.
Their togetherness last night has become gossip news in the media this morning, and causes him to now have to face the trial of his extended family.
"sorry grandfather, a.a.ku....do not mean it like that, it's just a coincidence." said Hylen still lowered his head.
"did you know that these rumors could result in Kenjiro dropping out to get engaged to Lady Lou?! if you want to get a rich man to be able to guarantee your life later, please look at the place of the ******* it! perhaps by becoming******, you will be able to get a lot of treasure from those men! but not Kenjiro's tease!" his grandfather again.
Hylen was heartbroken to say that, but no one dared to defend him, not Kenjiro nor his parents. Such was the daughter in the eyes of the Gongzie family, of no value. Hylen was no longer able to shed tears, his heart was too sore.
"Grandfather, remember your health. Last night, the wrong Kenjiro had brought her home together. Next time we will be more careful again" Kenjiro said trying to explain the real situation.
"Other times?! no more next time! now also grandfather will match Hylen with a child colleague grandfather! he was much older than Hylen! but he's a rich widower with no children, so your brother can be satisfied with all his wealth! and most importantly he stopped chasing and teasing you!" grandpa said again and everyone just kept quiet.
Kenjiro looked at Hylen who was still lowered without crying even a single bit, without even the slightest resistance to grandfather's decree.
Grandfather had returned to his room, everything started to leave the room including Hylen. Kenjiro immediately pursued Hylen's steps.
"sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this" Kenjiro said in a soft voice walking beside Helen.
"please stay away from me, brother, from now on never be near me less than 5 meters!" sahut Hylen and hasten his pace.
Kenjiro stopped and just stared at Hylen's departure with his parents.
