People do change-but the best parts of them can remain. A government job? Checked. A life free from the suffocating expectations of a traditional marriage? Working on it. Tired of the endless emotional warfare at home, Aditi decides to play the system. She proposes a fake marriage to her old friend and crush-a guy who is facing the exact same parental pressure and seems perfectly content to live a detached, carefree life. The agreement is simple: Live as roommates. Never try to control eachother. Aditi thinks she's found the ultimate loophole to protect her independence. But as the lines between fake vows and real proximity begin to blur, she realises that it's not that fake afterall. Aditi is about to learn that time and distance might alter a person's surface, but people do change-and the best parts of them remain. Now, she just has to figure out who her husband really is.

Nivi came to NIST for her final year project. Nothing more. Definitely not him. He's a research scholar who walks into the lab like he owns the place; loud when he speaks, effortless in the way he takes over conversations, and annoyingly good at making everything look easy. Extroverted in a space full of quiet focus,the kind of person you notice even when you're trying not to. And somehow, he always ends up next to her when things go wrong. A spilled sample. A blunt correction. A casual "be careful next time." That's how it starts. He doesn't try to be special. He just is. And that's the problem. Because in a place built on temporary things-projects, deadlines, people ,Nivi starts feeling something that doesn't feel temporary at all. My Autumn is about a time when everything was supposed to be temporary... but didn't feel that way
