Or he would vent his frustration out on her which makes her all cold again towards him and that drives him over the edge. In either case, he has to give in because Maya will not leave any choice for him.
I totally agree with the bold bit. She screaming for help could be a facade. Come on, the 1st episode began with Maya drowning herself in a pool of mud, she shouldn't be freaking out. I think that was only a tactic to fool CCTV Ankit.
Rudra doesn't know its a game. Hence he has no choice whatsoever in the matter. Like you pointed either way he will be tied to his heart to choose Maya. Maya even though having feeling for Rudra know she is playing a hard game and it will need sacrifice. She can destroy her heart for this battle. So she also doesn't have a choice for right now. She can only use these feelings to use Rudra as a shield.
@bold As much i have noticed, Maya can go to any length but only if she plans it. When unexpectedly she finds herself in tough situations, it sacres her. But after a moment of gathering her wits, she uses those same tough situations and manipulates them as per her wish. So she could both be scared and then she could easily manipulate it in front of Rudra and Rishi. She is not a great game planner but she is a quick manipulator for sure.
