I'm pretty sure it's impossible to do parallel things like this in Lua, but you can achieve a similar effect like this:

print("Hello!")

local timeUntilGoodbye = 5 * 60 -- Seconds * frames per second

event.register(event.tick, function()
    if timeUntilGoodbye == 0 then
        print("goodbye")
    end
    timeUntilGoodbye = timeUntilGoodbye - 1
end)
