  1. A

    Pasensiya ka na kay Mama, ha. Panlimang beses na niyang tinanong 'yan ngayong taon.

    Sorry about Mom. That's the fifth time she's asked this year.

  2. B

    Okay lang. Pero hindi lang ang pagbubuntis ang iniisip ko.

    It's fine. But it's not just the pregnancy I'm thinking about.

  3. A

    Alam ko, ang gastos. Ang pagpapaaral pa lang kay Migo, hirap na tayo.

    I know, the cost. Just putting Migo through school is already hard on us.

  4. B

    Saka kapag nanganak ako ulit, matatagalan na naman ang pagbalik ko sa trabaho.

    And if I have another baby, it'll take me ages to get back to work again.

  5. A

    Tama ka. Ano ang isasagot natin kay Mama?

    You're right. So what do we tell Mom?

  6. B

    Masaya na tayo kay Migo. Saka na natin pag-usapan ang pangalawa.

    That we're happy with Migo. We'll talk about a second one later.

  7. A

    Sige, ako mismo ang magsasabi sa kaniya, para hindi ka na maipit.

    Okay, I'll tell her myself, so you don't get caught in the middle anymore.
