I am Mia . Last Thursday I waited for my cousin Leo at Central Station . His train was late , and the waiting room felt busy all afternoon . I was standing near the information board when the loudspeaker announced a delay . People were reading the screen , but the new time did not appear at first . Did the staff know what happened ? Nobody answered my question clearly . While I was buying tea , Leo sent a message from the train . He was sitting in a carriage without air conditioning because the system was not working . I was walking back to the bench when I saw an old friend from school . She was carrying a heavy bag while she looked for Platform Six . I was helping her with the bag when Leo called again . He was passing through a tunnel , and the signal was not strong . At half past three the crowd was growing near the gate . I was checking my watch every few minutes . Were the passengers angry ? Some were angry , but most were just tired . When the train finally arrived , the doors opened slowly . Leo was waving from a window while other people were getting off . I was smiling because I had not seen him for two years . He was walking quickly when he reached the platform . His shirt was wet because he was not sitting near a working fan . Did he bring the books he promised ? Yes , he brought two books in a blue bag . We were talking about his journey while we walked to the exit . Leo was explaining that the train stopped twice between cities . The driver was not driving fast because there was work on the track last week . Outside the station it was raining lightly . We were sharing an umbrella when a taxi stopped near the curb . The driver was asking where we wanted to go , but Leo did not hear him at first . We were driving through the city while the streets were shining with rain . I was telling Leo about my new job when he was looking out of the window . He was not listening carefully because the view was new to him . At home my mother was cooking soup in the kitchen . She was setting the table when we came through the door . Were we hungry after the long wait ? Yes , we were very hungry . We were eating and laughing while Leo described the hot carriage . My father was asking questions about the delay , but Leo did not know every detail . The railway company was not sending clear updates to the passengers . After dinner we were sitting in the living room and watching the rain . Leo was reading one of his books when I was writing emails at the desk . I was not working long because I wanted to talk with him . Last Thursday was slow at the station , but the evening felt warm at home . I was waiting , he was travelling , and we were finally together before midnight . I did not mind the delay when we were talking over soup .
