Hi,

An embedded sub process is only a container in the process definition, not a process definition on itself.
If you would want that you need to use a call activity and a standalone sub process.
So your code is actually the way to approach this:

runtimeService.createExecutionQuery().
                activityId("wachtenAfgewerkt").
                singleResult();

But you can extend this query with a specific processInstanceId or processDefinitionKey value to get the right instance.

Best regards,

Had similar problem and the solution was:
<java>
.processInstanceBusinessKey(businessKey, true)
</java>
to include child executions.
