Ahmed plans to meet Ola at the beach before work, however the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, after both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Ahmed reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the beach, the road is blocked by work. People look around and ask questions. Ahmed suggests moving near a sign although the announcements are easier to hear. Ola arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe in the afternoon. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Ola says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Ahmed 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. Ahmed and Ola continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
