Rita plans to meet Mina at the balcony in the morning, after the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, before both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Rita reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the balcony, the card machine stops for a minute. People look around and ask questions. Rita suggests moving near a sign while 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 at noon. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Mina says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Rita answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, a staff member gives clear directions. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Rita and Mina continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
