await
Remain in anticipation
Await means to wait for something expected: We await your decision.
It's slightly more formal than wait for, common in official or written contexts: The suspect awaits trial.
What awaits you is what lies ahead: No one knows what awaits us.
In computing, await pauses code execution until an asynchronous operation completes.
