Ben plans to meet Mina at the market in the morning, because the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, so both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Ben reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the market, the road is blocked by work. People look around and ask questions. Ben suggests moving near a sign instead the announcements are easier to hear. Mina arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe on Sunday. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Mina says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Ben answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, a friend shares a screenshot of the code. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Ben and Mina continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
