Two strong Indian accents were painting a colorful argument in Kalil's laboratory, one male and one female. They both sounded at odds with one another, an unusual sound within the very peaceful research outpost setting.
"Please let me ride along with you, Kalil. Better yet, let me take the key and drive, because you don't know what you are doing," Gemina told Kalil, anticipating him giving in to her with ease. She was proud of her slim, athletic build, a brunette with smooth, light-brown skin.
"You are not to drive," Kalil said as though to inform her. His face of many acne scars glanced up at her from his computer then back down again, barely agitating his black frizz and curls. After typing a sentence up on his computer, he resumed, "I am not for your driving, Gemina. I am the one to do it. You are not the mechanic as I am. You do already know this." He gave her a scolding look.
"I know what I am doing, Kalil. You say this all the time. I am giving the truth and deserve your listening. You drive terribly and you will lose another land rover if you do not let me," demanded Gemina with an arguably slanderous explanation. "Let me drive, Kalil! Please? You give me the chance, I will not bother. Please, you do not have to worry, Kalil, but I should be the driver for our guests! They are deserving for a good driver like me, Kalil."
"You do not shut up about it you driving! You do this to me, woman. Please do not continue your outrageous. You choose with your thinking, driving me to concern. You do not bloody think on the right thing," Kalil returned, raising the volume of his voice at her.
Gemina fought on, "You think you know it all, Kalil, and you have not a vision, not a clue what it is... the advantages nor disadvantages of the lady driver—."
Kalil intercepted and engaged further, "Do not keep on with this to lose my patience! You will not, Gemina! I am to drive as always, and you are sitting now, to have sat now, I dare you not to think anymore on this."
Gemina gave him a face of disgust and in a tone of annoyance said, "Kalil, you shut it, because you are way off right now. You dare me—?"
"What the hell do you think of this on me, now? You tell me this, and what I think you then it doesn't matter?! Not once in your lifetime, never once have I taken to decimate a bloody land rover, woman! The bloody land rover is in the garage!" Kalil berated, feeling betrayed by her sudden interest in driving or riding along with the USF crew members. He went on, "You trust onto them more than you trust onto me and then you turn your side over to tell me this! You turn your side, woman! For that, you think you are to deserve the work load? You believe in what, Gemina? Go to your research and get in a zone!"
Gemina belly laughed out loud, finding Kalil to be histrionic and unrepentant for his prior driving actions.
Kalil stood up and roughened his face, pushing his chest out and coming across like a mad pigeon saying, "You have not any balls to tell to me this, alright you lady?! Gemina?! Gemina now, now I am cautioning you listen to me here! You listen very good here, woman, not anywhere else you think. You are not to test drive me on my bloody driving the land rover, you think! Are you doing to understand this now, bloody woman? Yes, you will! You are here, not on over to there who is guests. You do it to think for me here, you fault! Bloody woman I cannot talk to you because you do this!"
Gemina was furious at that point having seen such a serious display of backlash and having listened to Kalil conjure a tirade of misplaced passion. Finding his attitude disgusting, she rolled her eyes, grabbed the land rover key from the table, then gusted through the laboratory entrance.
"Gemina!" Kalil called out, storming out after her and quickly shutting the door behind him. He spoke at her with a rude and overbearing tone saying, "You listen to me now! It is my job to do the driving! That is true, I promise me you this, Gemina! To bring me back this key you will listen! It is my key not for your wrong thinking! You will listen to me now, you woman, you! You behave the way you have thought! F$cking when you listen, Gemina, you! Bring that back now the key, f$cking woman, I am to embrace this?!"
Gemina turned around and looked at Kalil dead on, scolding him in the corridor resentfully, "You think for yourself, Kalil! Only yourself. You think only for yourself and not for the other! You are blinded by passion, Kalil, that you have better use for in the lab! You stay here away from me with your unkindness, if I am so unsuitable for you. You are not welcome to speak with me, and you want your key back, you earn it with what is due. Don't ever cross the line to me, Kalil!"
"How dare you tell to me this, Gemina! Do you have not the right thinking? Give me the key back! You will lose it here! You will stop!" Kalil spat loudly feeling as though he was being disregarded and left behind.
"What has gotten into you, Kalil?! I am not your mom, I am not your girlfriend! You think sex is enough to tell me this, your bitterness and toxic spitting all over me! Tell me what it is now, Kalil, that makes you such a giant a$$hole, because I—," Gemina said back defensively.
Kalil said, "I already have been told you this, you woman, that there is not truth on your thinking! How dare you call me a nerve! Your actions have not proven to be true! You have no say in this, you bloody woman! You have no dignity for that, it is true! You have no faithfulness have I told you!"
"Oh really, Kalil? Kalil, you are losing it and have already lost it! Don't you... dare... guilt trip me, Kalil," Gemina warned coldly, staring penetratively into his eyes. She turned around to walk away from Kalil and kept on going, even to the sound of his monstrous anger.
"I warn you to not f$cking regret this moment, Gemina!" Shouted Kalil. "You are not to come back, then, and you regret for it when you return to me! Crazy woman! That key! You think that key?! You are not to work for me in this lab! Get out of here, then, Gemina, you will not do this onto me! You choose, woman, for this is the last time! I already have known it! I already have known it, Gemina, you will be terminated then from here, then, I will—!" Kalil yelled as Gemina continued on down the corridor then raced up the stairs.
Gemina thought to herself, I forgot my f$cking bag, have to tell Rahul I am taking the land rover, and this crazy little boy is going to make me go crazy. She walked up to another lab door and began pounding on it, waiting for someone to open the door, but nobody answered.
