future - Scala - ScheduledFuture

Question

I am trying to implement scheduled future in Scala. I would like it to wait specific time and then execute the body. So far I tried the following, simple approach

val d = 5.seconds.fromNow

val f = future {Await.ready(Promise().future, d.timeLeft); 1}

val res = Await.result(f, Duration.Inf)

but I am getting the TimeoutExcpetion on the future. Is this even the correct approach or should I simply use the ScheduledExecutor from Java?

Akka has akka.pattern:

def after[T](duration: FiniteDuration, using: Scheduler)(value: ? Future[T])(implicit ec: ExecutionContext): Future[T]

"Returns a scala.concurrent.Future that will be completed with the success or failure of the provided value after the specified duration."
