Kuhu is used to the elders in her house making every situation about themselves and making her feel responsible for their happiness. She sort of anticipates a similar reaction from Sheetal -- "after all the work I did to build your case, and help you get on your own feet, you are just dropping the whole thing? You are a naive, gulluble little girl who knows nothing about the world and you are setting yourself up for failure." That's why it takes her a while to get back in touch, and Sheetal has to remind her that she isn't her family, won't judge her, and is in fact happy that she and Kunal are trying to make it work. This is a totally new experience for Kuhu, which is why she breaks down.
No reason this and Riya's HC can't run parallel. 😃 If you remember, in my continuation, I had Kuhu leave a note for Kunal before she fell asleep on the couch to prevent him from doing so. I will just add that she thought of that little touch after this conversation (they met for coffee or talked on the phone during the day when Kuhu and Kunal didn't see each other -- between Riya's HC and my continuation), where Sheetal totally validates her concerns about Kunal but points out that she isn't communicating them in a way that he gets the message and her actual intention. So maybe find other, subtler ways to communicate that you are worried about him? Kuhu takes some time to think about it, and comes up with the note and then the next morning, the saree (as per Meera's contribution!). Howzzat? 😎
I would have guessed a very similar trajectory for how Atul ended up in acting classes away from home! I think that's why he doesn't call his parents much either -- too much drama! But Kuhu, Ketu, and he keep up on social media since they are all very active there. It's like their secret hideout away from the rest of the family. 😉
Ohhh!! Okay!! Now, I get what you're trying to say. I really like that you've put in Kuhu's insecurities in a supposedly professional relationship as well. I like everything else too!!
The only thing is she would have to tell her something as to why she didn't meet her at the court. She wouldn't just leave her waiting there, would she?
I'm imagining things now.

That's Vinay Patel, he learned to play the guitar because Kuhu once mentioned that she loved Ranbir in Rockstar. Oh, and there's Shashank Agarwal, he used to write Kuhu these corny poems and stick them in our mailbox -- Shaurya uncle found one by mistake one time and almost got him suspended. etc etc.
