¨I was very disappointed!¨ Hamisa Mobetto on meeting her biological dad for the first time

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.

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.
