Chapter 87: A Night to Remember

Hamza walked onto the stage slowly, a guitar slung across his back. He took a deep breath as the stage lights hit his eyes, bringing back memories of performing in clubs back home in Nigeria. Now, in the United States—the land of dreams—he stood before a crowd, but an emptiness lingered within him. His thoughts briefly drifted to his sister, but the loud cheers of the audience brought him back to reality.

He smiled and waved at the crowd of over 250 people. Though not the largest audience he had performed for, it was still significant. “Wow, that was quite a cheer! Seems like you’ve all been expecting me?”

“Hell yeah!”

“Yes!”

“Yeahhh!”

The enthusiastic response surprised Hamza. “Alright, like I promised, I’ll be singing an original tonight. I have two songs with me, but I’m not sure which to choose. So, I’ll let someone from the audience decide.”
