Second after you finish your pray you do dua, and I was never told this so I don't know what dua to do or what to say :embarrass

I believe I understand what you are asking in the first part. At that time you should be silently making intent for your prayer such as thinking how much you desire to pray in sincerity and that your prayer will be accepted.

OK, but what is the dua I would do after finishing pray?

I hope I am understanding your question correctly. If so:

Since you have finished the obligatory prayers, that is the time to make your own personal Duas and pray for your own needs or the needs of others, this can be done in your own words.

I think you only have to have the intention of praying - and since you have done wudu, standing facing the ka'aba, and ready to say your prayers then your intention is already there.

Growing up I was taught this long urdu thing to say before saying my prayers which roughly meant that I am standing facing the ka'aba for the prayer of 'such and such prayer' and I intend to say 'this many rakah'... but it is merely to teach the young child to be aware of the prayer you are going to say and know how many rakah you have to say - not a requirement of salah.
