Chapter 15 - Chapter 13 Cold wars in family

It was confirmed and I signed the contract after careful consideration and then keeping up with many dos and don'ts and long session of discussions I finally came out feeling like I have won a war and now the next step would be rent out a place to get my mails and stuff also I need fake uncle and aunts for agreement.

I decided to take help from a senior I knew who gives out favours like these and also he is a freshmen in the college building attached to our school so I could use him for like 6 yrs aa signed up for ug and pg courses together.

He is a angel sent only for me but the difficult part would convincing him for the same.

I was going towards my house but then I wanted to be myself and not get questioned or get those angry and pitiful stares so I had dinner at a restaurant and took some things to home to eat if I got hungry.

I silently climbed my window and got into my room bathed and changed my clothes again. I just started doing my assignments for the day in my room.

When Kalgeo came in

" Where the hell have you been? "he asked worried and hugged me tight it again shot up the pain as it was agonized due to splashes of hot I had in shower.

I tried to gulp up the pain and I think I was successful enough and then we talked.

" Ax are you alright? " he asked now so many times people asked me this today that now the answers came in naturally like I was a AI.

"Yup all fine don't worry and please now let me do my assignments" I said

and then he went away not yet assured

but he knew my assignment works and stuff.

It took a long time for me to do the assignments as the pain was getting worst so I went to the roof top and applied the cream and it relived me and from YouTube I looked at various ways to make the pain ease.

I looked up various dance choreographies and singing tutorials and now I had three months first leave that wanted to learn the basics so took to it and joined a class for it , it was night school from 12 to 4 am and it was suitable enough for me.

Now I wanted the bruises to go away as quickly as possible I searched herb named coconia which will help in removing the scars so I bought it online and also searched for many other ways to ease the bruises on my back because the ones I used today will not help in long run .

I found some of these useful

1) Arnica montana, or arnica, is an herb widely used for pain and bruising. This is because it contains compounds that are known to have an anti-inflammatory effect that can be absorbed through the skin.

Some research has found that arnica may be an effective remedy for bruising.

One study found that people who took oral arnica after a rhinoplasty (nose job) had improved appearance of post-surgery bruising.

Another study found that applying a 20 percent arnica ointment to the skin sped up healing timeTrusted Source when compared with a placebo.

People should look for oral arnica, arnica gel, or arnica ointment that contains at least 20 percent arnica, which can be purchased online. It can be applied as directed on the product package.

If using oral arnica, it is usually best to let the pill dissolve under the tongue. An arnica mouth spray should also be used to coat the underside of the tongue.

A person should stop using the product if irritation or a rash develops.

2) Bromelain

Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes found in the pineapple plant. These enzymes may have anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce bruising and swelling when applied to the skin.

A study in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery found that oral bromelain improved pain and swelling after tooth extractions when compared to a painkiller and a placebo.

A person can apply a cream or gel containing bromelain two to three times a day or as otherwise directed.

Oral bromelain supplements can cause unwanted side effects, including digestive problems and increased heart rate. People who are allergic to pineapple should not use bromelain.

Bromelain supplements are sometimes recommended after surgery to help minimize bruising, but a person should only take bromelain by mouth if directed by a doctor.

3) R.I.C.E.

R.I.C.E. stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Many people who have had surgery or have sprains or strains employ this tactic to aid recovery, but it has benefits for bruising as well.

These actions aim to temporarily reduce blood flow to the injured area, which can help prevent some swelling and bruising.

Elevating and resting the area, as well as applying ice for up to 20 minutes per hour and using a light compression bandage, can help decrease the blood flow and inflammation that contribute to bruising.

Following R.I.C.E. as soon as possible after an injury and throughout the healing process can also decrease pain.

4) A person's diet can have an impact on all areas of health, including how their injuries and bruises heal. Certain foods can strengthen the body's blood vessels, which may minimize bruising.

Other foods can help keep the body's skin and tissues strong and pliable. Eating a healthful, balanced diet that includes the following foods may help prevent or heal bruises:

Pineapple. Eating fresh pineapple gives the body a natural dose of bromelain, which may help the bruise heal faster.

Fruits with natural quercetin. Foods with high amounts of quercetin include apples, citrus fruits, red onion, dark-colored berries and cherries, and leafy green vegetables.

Citrus fruits. One study found that citrus flavonoids significantly improved bruising in seniors who had senile purpura, or ongoing bruising. Citrus fruits include oranges, tangerines, and lemons.

Foods with vitamin K. A diet that includes vitamin K will prevent deficiency and may help a person bruise less. Good sources include kale, spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, soybeans, strawberries, and blueberries.

Lean protein. Fish, poultry, tofu, and lean meat provide protein to help strengthen capillaries. Avoid sources of protein with high amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol, such as hamburger or fried meats.

Zinc-rich foods. Zinc helps the body heal wounds and tissues. Good sources of zinc include crab, lobster, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and legumes.

I kept up with maximum of these for 3 months and I prepared a good way from these which made my bruise marks fade away and pain also.

The cold wars in family are still going on the family is not talking to dad because of what he did mom hasn't spoken to him even once and Kalgeo also hasn't even looked him in eye.

While I am also ignoring his existence as much as I could because I can see he blames me for this too but he doesn't understand the pain he caused to me and also it is his fault that none of the family is talking to him.

It was And the other cold War is going on between me and Salena and me she ignores me now while I ignore her our friends try to make it ease but it doesn't work I think it will ever ease out after the rejection.

But the war seems to get worse as I heard mom and dad fighting Kalgeo tried to make sure that I didn't know of it but I did and here is part of the conversation.

" How could beat a poor kid like that? what gives you that right huh "mom screamed at my father

" He is 14 and now he must understand that he also should not have so coldheartedly rejected Salena "

"Why are you fixating so on that so much and who the fuck is she to you and why is it that a 14 yr old guy cannot decide whom he wants to be with her or not maybe he didn't like her that way or he didn't know how to reply or he simply has someone else but no you didn't even let him talk and started beating that poor kid " Mom said crying at last part it hurt like crazy when I heard her cry.

" Listen to me I saw her crying and something in me was hurt and when heard that Axel is why she is like that I could not control the anger " Dad said

" I wish I had never married you in first place " mom said crying with pain leaking from every word " I wish I could've given my kid a father looked at them first and then thinks of others or atleast at truth, someone who was not so tangled up in pride and ego that he never saw his faults but others . "

Mom stopped and looked straight at dad and then she said " You did this because you didn't want Axel to take birth right, also you don't like your son doing something you're not capable of doing yourself that is academics you're a loser in it while he is a topper in his class which you cannot digest right ,also he has no inclination towards sports which you love and want your children to do but he doesn't right. " She stopped and took a long breath " But you forgot that all children are ours I don't want to think like ours as you don't deserve to be called ours here but still they're ours while the 4 boys and 1 girl has gone on you 1 boy and 1 girl has gone on me, they have my brains and structures so please from now onwards I will look after those two and decide for them got it " She again stopped took a deep breath and with a tone aggressiveness she spoke with firmness "If you ever touch Axel or any other kid for that matter I will make sure to divorce and to put you behind bars for physical abuse of children got it " She just stomped off from the room .
