Tanzanian riveting beauty, Hamisa Mobetto was separated from her biological dad, barely months old, only to get disappointed after meeting him a decade later.
The stunning commercial model revealed that she always dreamt of meeting her dad and have it like a movie scene but it was so unexpected and local, it put off her spirit.
Sharing this with Tanzania´s Classic FM, the mompreneur highlighted:
I was born in Mwanza but after my parents separated, we went to live with my grandmother elsewhere. They did not separate in a good way.
Too young to have met her dad, nor even understand what was going around her, Hamisa and her mom exited the life of her dad.
Growing up, I did not know my dad because when my parents separated, I was a few months old.
The mom then remarried after moving from her dad´s town to another.
Reunion
But sheer coincidence rekindled the family´s memories as the festivities saw the three meet at the one spot. When she had just completed her class 7 studies:
In 2007, is when I met my dad for the first time. We had gone for Christmas shopping and I was to get a dress. After going round in the first shop, we heard someone calling after my mum. On turning back, we came face-to-face with my dad. The shop where I had seen the dress I liked was his.
Unlike what you´d expect – a daughter running with open arms to their dad after a long time – Hamisa´s experience was different.
She had already formed a clear picture of how she expected to meet her dad but it never came to pass.
I was very disappointed because I had played the scene on how the meeting with dad would be. I thought it would be like a scene from a movie but it was not. I just greeted him casually and he asked me to kneel down and great him. He looked so much like me and he was so happy to see me.
However, 2 years after the meet up, Hamisa´s dad passed on but she was more than glad to have met her dad.
