It is an interesting tale which depicts, "I don't want to get married" to "How the hell am I supposed to convince them to get me married!"

It was Sunday and Zoya woke up early in the morning. She had coffee and called her parents. She was sitting lazily on the couch when the doorbell rang and she went to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by Sonakshi who was smiling. "Good morning", wished Sonakshi. Zoya replied back with a smile, "Good morning."
Zoya moved aside so that Sonakshi could enter the House. She entered the House and they both sat on the couch. "Zoya, let's do something today", said Sonakshi.
"As in?" asked Zoya. "See, we both are new to Mumbai. Let's go out to explore Mumbai. I know it's a vast city but why don't we visit some famous places and eat the famous food of Mumbai? I have heard that Vada Pav is very famous in Mumbai. Let's go and we will eat that", said Sonakshi with excitement oozing in her tone.
Zoya smiled and said, "Okay, I don't mind. But how will we go?" "We will take a bus", replied Sonakshi and Zoya gulped, asking, "Is it necessary to take a bus?"
Sonakshi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Soya Sauce, are you afraid of buses?" "I haven't travelled in buses", replied Zoya, much to Sonakshi's surprise.
"Really?" asked Sonakshi and Zoya nodded while scratching her head. "Don't worry, we will arrange something", said Sonakshi and Zoya smiled.
"Did you have your breakfast?" asked Sonakshi. Zoya nodded and said, "I had bread butter." Sonakshi frowned and said, "I am talking about proper breakfast." "I don't know how to cook", said Zoya while biting her lower lip in embarrassment.
"Oh! Even I don't know how to cook", said Sonakshi but then something striked her and said, "Then why did you come here alone?"
"Agar hum yahan akele nahi aate na, toh phir Abbu ke saath saath humare naukar bhi yahan aate. Aap humare Abbu ko jaanti nahi hain, Mussoorie mein hume paani lene ke liye bhi room se bahar nahi jaana padta tha, sab room mein hi mil jaata tha. Pichhale kuchh waqt se baad ne hume wahan ghutan hone lagi thi. Isiliye humne Ammi aur Abbu ko bohot mushkil se manaya hain yaha aane ke liye", said Zoya. (If I wouldn't have come here alone, them along with Abbu, a few servants would also have come here. You don't know how Abbu is! In Mussoorie, even I didn't go till the kitchen to get water, whatever I needed was sent to my room. But since last few days, I have been feeling suffocated there. That is the reason I convinced Abbu and Ammi with great difficulty to let me come here alone.)
Sonakshi was looking at her with her mouth wide open. Since she met Zoya, this was the first time she saw her speaking. She blinked and shook her head. All that she could say was, "Oh!"
Zoya was looking at her with a frown and Sonakshi said, "We will do something. We won't travel in bus. I think you should come to our House for lunch and dinner."
Zoya smiled and said, "That is not needed. I had seen a recipe on YouTube and I have even kept the cooker on the gas. I am sure that it will turn out to be goo..." Before she could complete her sentence, they both heard an ear deafening noise from the kitchen and they both closed their ears with their hands.
