Problem Statement

Let ABC ABC be a scalene triangle. Let E E and F F be the midpoints of sides AC AC and AB AB , respectively, and let D D be any point on segment BC BC . The circumcircles of triangles BDF BDF and CDE CDE intersect line EF EF at points KF K \neq F , and LE L \neq E , respectively, and intersect at points XD X \neq D . The point Y Y is on line DX DX such that AY AY is parallel to BC BC . Prove that points K K , L L , X X , and Y Y lie on the same circle.
