He needs an anchor, someone who can make him feel at peace, because he is always so busy playing that role for everyone else in the family. The Great Wall of shivaay needs a resting place and anika is that place for him. Another 5 sec scene that captures it beautifully - when anika leaves he is frustrated that he is not able to reach the commissioner but for a brief second looking at her gives him a sense of comfort, peace. From her part she understands he is restless and so does not wish to disturb him though she
