As Yuvika tried to navigate the tense atmosphere at the party, her discomfort grew when Daksh approached her at the bar. Attempting to maintain her composure, she politely excused herself, clearing her throat before trying to slip away. However, just as she was about to leave, Daksh unexpectedly grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.

As Rudraksh emerged from the secluded corner, still simmering with frustration after his confrontation with Daksh, his eyes scanned the room for Yuvika. When he spotted her at the bar, his heart skipped a beat, but that quickly turned to seething anger as he noticed Daksh holding her wrist, preventing her from leaving. The sight of Daksh’s hold on Yuvika ignited a fury within Rudraksh, his jaw clenched and fists tightened as he watched the scene unfold from afar.

Unable to contain his rage any longer, Rudraksh stormed towards them, his strides purposeful and filled with fury. The crowd barely registered in his mind as he closed the distance between himself and Daksh, his eyes blazing with anger. Reaching them in seconds, he didn’t hesitate. With a swift, forceful movement, he grabbed Daksh's hand, wrenching it off Yuvika’s wrist with a firm grip. Before Daksh could even react, Rudraksh’s fist collided with his face, the impact echoing through the room. The sheer force of the punch sent Daksh stumbling backward, causing a collective gasp from the onlookers as the party came to an abrupt halt. Conversations died, and all eyes turned toward the unfolding confrontation.

Yuvika stood frozen in horror, her heart pounding in her chest. The shock of the scene unfolding before her eyes made her breath catch. She had never seen Rudraksh lose control like this, and the sudden violence left her terrified, not only for Daksh but for what this meant for the entire party. The tension in the room became unbearable, and Yuvika could barely comprehend what was happening as she stared at Rudraksh, his face still contorted with rage.

Despite her shock and fear, Yuvika's instincts kicked in. She couldn’t just stand there and let things escalate further. With trembling hands, she stepped forward, placing herself between Rudraksh and Daksh. Her eyes, wide with concern, locked onto Rudraksh’s, trying to convey a silent plea.

“Rudra, stop!” she urged, her voice trembling but resolute as she gently placed a hand on his chest, attempting to calm him down. She could feel the tension radiating off him, his muscles taut and ready for another strike.

"Please, don't do this here," she added, her voice softening as she desperately tried to appeal to his sense of reason. Her fingers curled slightly into the fabric of his shirt, hoping to anchor him back to the present, away from the anger that was consuming him. Yuvika’s heart raced as she stood her ground, knowing how difficult it was for Rudraksh to back down once his temper flared, but she couldn’t bear to see the situation spiral further out of control.
