C77 His tail

"Riya's point of view,"

When I returned to work the next day, I discovered Rachit had taken a five-day leave. Wow, my terrible luck. I had no choice but to wait for his return.

But it shocked me to learn that Rachit did not go on leave alone; his tail, Shilpi, joined him. "the father of the tail" refers to the plant's head being on emergency leave
