Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AC$ is its shortest side. A point $P$ is inside it and satisfies that $BP = AC$. Let $R$ be the midpoint of $BC$ and let $M$ be the midpoint of $AP$. Let $E$ be the intersection of $BP$ and $AC$. Prove that the bisector of angle $\angle BE A$ is perpendicular to segment $MR$.
