Omar plans to meet Nia at the bridge in the afternoon, so the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, after both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Omar reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the bridge, the map is missing from the wall. People look around and ask questions. Omar suggests moving near a sign when the announcements are easier to hear. Nia arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe on Saturday. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Nia says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Omar answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, they find a side entrance after asking. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Omar and Nia continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
