If you verbalized what you intended with your tongue and meant it as a vow (nadhr), then you are obliged to perform two rak'ahs after every obligatory prayer that is followed by a supererogatory (nafila) prayer. However, if you did not verbalize it, and it was merely an inner thought or an intention without the purpose of a vow, then nothing is obligatory upon you. Nevertheless, it is recommended for you to maintain it as an act of obedience.
