Lina plans to meet Maya at the street on Sunday, while the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, before both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Lina reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the street, the map is missing from the wall. People look around and ask questions. Lina suggests moving near a sign instead the announcements are easier to hear. Maya 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," Maya says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Lina answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, they choose a different stop and continue. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Lina and Maya continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
