Hasashe Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

Halifa looked at his friends who were admiring Sulaiman's tailoring—Sulaiman being one of them—celebrating the approach of Halifa's wedding, which was just nine days away. At that exact moment, the delegation delivering the wedding gifts (lefe) was over at the bride Bilki's family home.
They were sorting out invitation cards to begin distributing in three days.
Halifa's phone rang, and he pulled it out eagerly, assuming it was his bride since he had been waiting for her call.
It was Hafsi, his aunt's daughter, who was among the entourage delivering the lefe.
He answered with a question, "Hafsi, are you coming out already?" He heard voices rising as if an argument was breaking out. She interrupted him, saying, "Uncle Halifa, I swear they have belittled these clothes. And they said there are no henna-ceremony clothes included. Baba told them people don't do henna-ceremony clothes anymore since perfume is sprayed nowadays, but they said as for them, they still hold onto that custom to this day. They're saying ten atamfa fabrics, five lace fabrics, two shadda fabrics—what kind of poverty-stricken affair is this..."
"What did Bilki's mother say?" Halifa interrupted Hafsi.
She replied, "She said thank God she didn't invite her friends to the reception of the lefe, or else she would have been disgraced. She said they might as well be shoved under the bed; it would be better to say no lefe was brought at all. And she said the appreciation gifts (tukwici) won't be given to us, that since we drink Fanta, the soft drinks and cincin should be returned, and she won't give a single Naira either."
Halifa took a deep, heavy sigh and then asked, "Where is Bilkisu?" She replied, "There she is over there, crying." He said, "Hand her the phone, don't hang up."
He could hear the voice of his mother's younger sister, Baba, saying, "We thought these clothes were just custom and that everyone does according to their means."
He heard Bilkisu saying, "Hafsi, I won't answer his call," but then she said, "Bring it here anyway. Let him hear it from me."
She began pouring out her rage on him, saying he had disappointed her. So despite all those market runs and claims that he was sending for items from Dubai, this was all the pitiful stuff he could buy—three suitcases and a Ghana-must-go bag. "I swear, Halifa, you have embarrassed me."
Halifa wiped the sweat from his face and looked at his friends, who were standing around in stunned silence. In a subdued voice, he asked, "Bilki, do you look down on these items?"
Filled with arrogance, she replied, "Yes, I look down on them, Halifa!!" He asked, "So you only love me for material things?" She said, "Halifa, I would have preferred it if nothing was brought at all!" He said, "Alright then, give them back the items so they can bring them back to me." She replied, "Right away, including the wedding invitation cards you showed off with."
Without saying anything further, he hung up. Immediately, he began calling Baba's line.
She picked up, and he said, "Baba, just bring the items back." Baba replied, "Let us see if a resolution can be reached. We are waiting for the head of the house." He said, "Baba, just leave them alone and come back." She hung up, saying, "I'll call you back, your aunt is calling me."
He looked at his friends, who were filled with utter amazement, and said, "Burn those invitation cards. By Allah, I'm calling it off." They said, "Take it easy."
