Hon, inayos na raw ni Mama ang kuwarto natin sa bahay nila.
Hon, Mom says she's already fixed up a room for us at their house.

B
Talaga? Ang bait naman ng mama mo.
Really? That's so sweet of your mom.

A
Malaki naman ang bahay, at libre pa. Makakaipon tayo.
The house is big, and it's free. We could save up.

B
Bagama't libre ang upa sa inyo, hindi puwedeng dalawa ang reyna sa iisang kusina.

A

B
Sige, upahan natin. Malapit pa rin, pero may sarili akong kusina.
Okay, let's rent it. It's still close, but I'll have my own kitchen.
