The evening hung heavy with silence as Hamza opened his eyes and found Shamshudeen standing there, gazing at him in awe. With a nod of appreciation, Shamshudeen couldn't help but compliment his friend. "Bro, you're amazing. Was that your song?"
Hamza, momentarily confused, quickly shook his head and replied, "Nah, it was by Wiz Khalifa. The name of the song is 'See You Again.'"
Shamshudeen's surprise was evident. "I know Wiz Khalifa, I follow his music. How come I haven't heard of this song?"
Hamza furrowed his brows, equally perplexed. "This song is as old as 2013. How have you not heard it, huh?"
Shamshudeen looked at Hamza, a bit puzzled, and remarked, "You don't have to be so humble, bro. You're joking, right?"
Shaking his head, Hamza asked a nearby soldier for his phone. He turned to Shamshudeen and inquired again, "Seriously, you haven't heard of it?"
Shamshudeen shook his head. "No, seriously, I haven't heard of it."
Determined to prove his point, Hamza took the soldier's phone and attempted to search for "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa on Google. To his astonishment, the search yielded no results for the song. Only pictures of Wiz Khalifa and unrelated results appeared. Bewilderment set in.
Shamshudeen chuckled. "You don't have to pretend to be humble, my friend."
Confused and increasingly alarmed, Hamza tried searching for other songs by Wiz Khalifa from 2013, but none of them were familiar. It was as if the songs he had known had disappeared from existence. He couldn't comprehend what was happening. It felt surreal, like a dream he couldn't wake up from.
Shamshudeen approached him and tried to offer some assurance. "Okay bro, just accept it. I never knew you had such talent."
Hamza remained lost in thought, struggling to accept this inexplicable turn of events. It felt like a fantasy, and he couldn't grasp the implications of what had just transpired. This night had taken an unexpected and mysterious turn.
Meanwhile, not far away, a fellow soldier had recorded Hamza's performance. He quickly shared the video on his Facebook and other social media platforms, teasing that a musical storm was brewing. He added the hashtag # and posted it, unknowingly contributing to the enigma of this peculiar night.
