The night was alive with tension as the hulking figure of Hidimb emerged from the shadows, his towering frame casting a dark, terrifying presence over the forest. His eyes gleamed red with hunger and cruelty as he roared, his voice shaking the very ground beneath them. Nisha stood firm, her bow taut, eyes locked on the demon, while Bheem, his anger boiling within him, squared his shoulders, ready for the clash that was about to unfold.

Hidimb wasted no time. With a ferocious growl, he lunged toward Bheem, swinging his massive fist. Bheem dodged, but the sheer force of the blow sent a gust of wind rushing past him. Before Bheem could retaliate, Hidimb swung again, this time landing a punch squarely on Bheem's chest. The impact was so strong that it sent Bheem staggering back a few steps.

Nisha's eyes widened as she saw Bheem being pushed back, her heart racing. Without hesitation, she pulled an arrow from her quiver, took aim, and shot it with precision. The arrow flew through the air, striking Hidimb's shoulder, momentarily halting his advance.

Hidimb growled in pain and turned his attention to Nisha, his eyes narrowing. In the blink of an eye, he lunged toward her, his massive hands ready to crush. Nisha, quick on her feet, rolled to the side and shot another arrow, this time aiming for his arm. The demon bellowed in rage, but Nisha moved with grace, dodging each of his powerful swipes while continuing to defend herself.

Bheem, seeing Nisha in danger, roared with fury and charged at the demon. He grabbed Hidimb by the waist and heaved him back, throwing him to the ground with a mighty crash. But Hidimb was not so easily defeated. With surprising agility for a creature of his size, he kicked Bheem in the chest, sending him flying backward, his body slamming into the ground with a heavy thud.

As Bheem lay momentarily stunned, Hidimb turned his gaze back to Nisha. His eyes were filled with malevolent glee as he struck her with a powerful swipe, knocking her to the ground. Nisha gasped, the air knocked from her lungs as she lay on the forest floor.

"Nisha!" Nakul cried, rushing to her side. Mata Kunti too ran towards her, her face pale with worry.

But before they could reach her, Nisha raised her hand, signaling that she was fine. "I'm okay," she said, her voice steady despite the pain. She pushed herself up, her body aching but her spirit unbroken. Nakul and Kunti exchanged worried glances but sat beside her.

Just as the fight seemed to be tipping in Hidimb's favor, a sudden surge of energy crackled through the air. Everyone turned as Hidimba, her face fierce with determination, stepped forward. Her eyes blazed with a strange, mystical light as she began to chant under her breath. The ground around her shimmered, and with a flick of her wrist, she sent a wave of energy toward her brother.

Hidimb snarled as the energy hit him, his body convulsing. "Bahen, kya tum mere virudh ho gayi ho?" (English Translation: "Sister, have you turned against me?") he growled, his voice filled with fury and disbelief.

Hidimba's voice was steady but filled with sorrow. "Main tumhe rok rahi hoon, Hidimb. Tumhara ant ab tay hai." (English Translation: "I am stopping you, Hidimb. Your end is near.") She raised her hands, sending another wave of mystical force at him, pushing him back.

Bheem, regaining his strength, stood once more. His eyes were filled with a wild rage as he saw Hidimb standing tall, still threatening those he loved. With a roar of pure fury, Bheem charged at the demon, his fists clenched with determination.

This time, Bheem didn't hold back. He slammed his fists into Hidimb's legs, one after the other, the force of his blows cracking the demon's bones. Hidimb howled in pain, collapsing to his knees. But Bheem's rage was far from sated. With a powerful uppercut, Bheem punched the demon's stomach, the impact reverberating through the forest.

Hidimb gasped, his body trembling as Bheem delivered blow after blow, his fists a blur of motion. Finally, with a sickening crunch, Bheem's last punch landed square in Hidimb's chest, and the demon fell to the ground, lifeless.

But Bheem's fury hadn't cooled. He was still consumed by rage, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. In a blind fury, he grabbed the trunk of a massive tree, uprooting it with ease. His muscles bulged as he lifted the tree above his head, ready to crush Hidimb's lifeless body beneath it.

"Bas kijiye, dev," Hidimba's voice rang out, soft but firm. She stepped forward, her hands raised in a gesture of peace. "Yeh mar chuka hai. Apna gussa bhul jaiye."

(English Translation: "Stop, O mighty one. He is dead. Let go of your anger.")

Bheem paused, his chest heaving with effort. His eyes, wild with fury, met Hidimba's, and in that instant, something changed. The rage that had consumed him seemed to melt away as he stared into her eyes. The world around them grew quiet, the tension of the battle fading as the two locked gazes, a strange connection forming between them.

Nakul, sensing the sudden shift in mood, glanced at Nisha with a confused expression. "Yeh achanak kya ho raha hai?" he whispered to her, his voice filled with curiosity.

(English Translation: "What's happening all of a sudden?")

Nisha, equally bewildered, shrugged, her eyes darting between Bheem and Hidimba. "Mujhe kese pata hoga pagal," she whispered back, a small smile playing on her lips.

(English Translation: "how would i know you fool.")

Nakul then turned to Arjuna, a mischievous grin on his face. He raised an eyebrow and teased, "Ped ko kab tak pakde rahenge, bhrata Bheem?"

(English Translation: "How long will you keep holding that tree, brother Bheem?")

A burst of laughter rippled through the group. Sahadeva clapped Nakul on the back, the two brothers exchanging a sly high-five as they successfully teased Bheem.

Bheem, realizing he was still holding the tree, glared at them but couldn't suppress a small, begrudging smile. He tossed the tree aside, the massive trunk crashing to the ground with a dull thud. Hidimba, who had been watching silently, blushed and looked away, shyly hiding her smile.

The air was lighter now, the danger passed. The group gathered, the tension slowly giving way to laughter and relief. But as Bheem glanced back at Hidimba, something flickered in his heart—something he hadn't felt before.
