Some scholars have permitted combining the intention of making up for missed fasts with fasting the six days of Shawwal. Some Shafi'i jurists mentioned that whoever fasts to make up for missed days in Shawwal will attain the basic reward of fasting the six days, even if it is not complete, while some Shafi'is prohibited combining intentions in this matter.
As for the questioner, he must sincerely repent for intentionally breaking the fast during Ramadan, abandon the sin, associate with the righteous, and strive in supplication and remembrance of Allah Almighty.
