126 Nervous

[Downstairs] 

"Oh my God, look at you," Reeta exclaimed. "You have become such a big boy." 

"Not a big boy, he is a big man now." George hooked his arms around Joshua's neck. "He is a grown man now."

"What grown man?" Joshua chuckled. "I am still a kid at heart." 

"Yes, he is a twenty-eight year old kid," Roma remarked. 

"And I have a thirty year old child in my house." Reeta looked at George. "He is the biggest baby in my house right now who keeps throwing tantrums." 

"She keeps nagging me to find a woman and get married," George whispered to Joshua. 

"Same," Joshua whispered back. 

Roma sighed and helplessly shook her head. "It's very tough to handle boys when they reach a marriageable age. At least George is here with you so you can nag him in person—" She looked at Joshua and added, "This boy doesn't even stay at home, I have to take all the trouble to call and nag him."
