The road to India. The Road to You.
Luc got off the plane and followed the crowd into a small, run down airport. The first thing that hit him was the heat, it was stifling. He'd forgotten how humid it was, he'd been in England way too long. He'd almost forgotten what it felt like to be truly boiling hot. All he could think of as he stepped onto Indian soil was one step closer to Eddi. That kept him charging through the crowds.
People pushed and shoved their way through the airport, which was incredibly crowded. Eventually Luc reached passport control, he lined up and walked over to show his passport when It was his turn. The man stared at it for a while, whilst Luc stood there getting really impatient. Eventually he was let through and rushed off to find his bag. He couldn't wait to be out of here.
Once Luc had grabbed his bag, he headed towards the exit. Once he stepped out of the airport he was swamped with people trying to sell him things. Kid's with flowers and fruit, trying to sell Luc absolutely anything they could. Luc had gotten used to this though over the years he'd travelled, so he just walked fast and walked over to quickly hail a cab on the busy road.
He jumped into the first empty taxi he saw, it was a bright yellow cab much the same as the ones which filled the road.
"Can you drive me too Kerala?" Luc asked, the driver.
"That's a long drive," the man replied, in broken English with quite a heavy accent.
"I don't care; just get me there, the quicker the better." Luc replied sitting back and trying to drown out the loud noises.
Being back in India, it was like Luc's senses were being smothered. The smells, the vibrate colours and the noise just surrounded and overwhelmed you the second you walked out on the street. He'd forgotten what Indian towns where like, he couldn't wait to be in Kerala which was a lot quieter. Also it was where Eddi was, which is why Luc was here in the first place.
The drive was quiet; Luc wasn't in the mood for talking. He'd just got off a 10 hour flight, and was exhausted. The only thought keeping him going was Eddi. He'd missed her so much, and as he'd promised Sacha he was going to start living his life now. Starting with getting Eddi back, his life was complete with her and he wouldn't mess everything up a second time, he'd learnt his lesson.
The journey to Kerala took hours, but Luc didn't mind he just wanted to get too Eddi. He had no idea where she was staying; she's mentioned some stuff on her postcard so he was hopeful he'd find her. He knew he would, he couldn't lose her again. Once they were out of the city, the roads were quieter, but still the taxi driver didn't attempt to make small talk; for which Luc was glad. He seemed to sense Luc was here for something very important.
Luc himself could hardly stop thinking about Eddi, would she be happy to see him? He hoped so. Though she hadn't wrote that postcard just too him, it was kind of like she was sending him a message. That's what Luc hoped anyway.
It was 11am Indian time, so Luc would have all day to find Eddi, even though he was very jet legged and just wanted to sleep. He was determined to track her down as soon as possible, he just couldn't wait. He suddenly had a new buzz for life, since he'd gotten everything off his chest and talked to the psychologist. He no longer had so much emotion and sadness locked up inside his head. He could finally enjoy life.
The taxi driver dropped Luc off in the town centre of Kerala. Luc walked around for a bit too find out what there was, the decided he should try and work out where to look for Eddi. But as Luc was so tired he couldn't help himself, when he noticed an edge of the lagoon which was on the postcard Eddi sent him, he headed for it.
Luc sat down leaning against a tree and looked out over the water, it was breathtaking. Luc couldn't help it before he knew it he was asleep, the warm Indian sun beating down on him as he lay under a tree. The people of Kerala didn't pay him much attention when visiting the lagoon; they just got on with their own business.
However one young girl noticed him. She stopped and stared when she noticed a very familiar figure asleep. She'd recognize him anywhere, she knew it was him. But why was he here? Eddi decided she couldn't just walk away, Luc was here! So she walked up to him, knelt down and gently shook him awake.
Luc smiled as he woke up, a pretty small figure was leaning over him but he couldn't quite see her face as the sun was shining so bright. It was almost like looking at an angle. A minute or so later Luc's eyes started to focus and he realised who he was staring at, Eddi. He could hear her saying his name but he couldn't concentrate enough to reply, he was too busy staring.
Her hair had grown longer, and had gone a few shades lighter due to the strong Indian sun. Her skin was darker and had a beautiful healthy glow to it. She looked amazing.
"Luc..." Eddi whispered again, still trying to get his attention. This time though it seemed to work.
"Eddi, I found you!" He whispered, one hand reaching up to stroke her cheek.
"More like I found you," Eddi replied laughing. "What are you doing here?"
"I got your postcard and I had to find you. Life was falling apart at Holby, I needed you." Luc told her tiredly.
"What are you on about Luc?" Eddi asked worried.
"Too complicated," was all he whispered in reply. His eyelids were already drifting shut again, he was so tired. But before her lost consciousness completely he grabbed Eddi and tugged her towards him, wrapping his arms round her. Eddi had no other choice, she snuggled down next too Luc and watched him as he slept. He looked different.
Eddi had forgotten how good it felt to be led with Luc, she felt safe in his arms. She didn't mean to but soon she fell asleep, next to him. The both of them led asleep together as the day went on and the sun started to fade.
Luc had found her.
Really Hope you liked it, don't forget too review. Thanks!
