Ravi plans to meet Rita at the bus stop in the evening, after the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, therefore both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Ravi reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the bus stop, the road is blocked by work. People look around and ask questions. Ravi suggests moving near a sign so the announcements are easier to hear. Rita 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," Rita says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Ravi answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, the system restarts and works again. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Ravi and Rita continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
