Hmmm... Not actually any message before that if statement( whether or not
redirected to /dev/console or not, it doesn't matter ) or as soon as the
wfw process exits or gets killed( that's what those if /else  is checking
for )

No it doesn't fix it. Secondly, my main problem is why it is not working
with systemd. When, I was using this script as initscript before porting
this to systemd. I was able to see all echo messages.
Secondly, what I have observed is as soon as the wfw process exits or gets
killed. echo messages don't come.
