Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle with the orthocenter $H$ . Let $D$ be the point such that $HABD$ is a parallelogram ( $AB \parallel HD$ , $AH \parallel BD$ ). Let $E$ be the point on the line $DH$ such that $AC$ bisects $HE$ . The line $AC$ meets the circumcircle of the triangle $DCE$ at $C$ and $F$ .
Prove that $EF = AH$ .
