Could you please try following, written and tested as per shown samples. This will rewrite every non existing file and non existing directory to respective html in backend to be served. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/my_url [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ $1.html [L]

But the redirection I need its for one url not for every url , has to redirect this url with and without .html – a_cl Jan 20 '21 at 11:25
@a_cl, could you please try my edited rules and let me know then? how it goes. – RavinderSingh13 Jan 20 '21 at 11:26
@a_cl, could you please do let me know if my edited rules worked for you? In case of redirect you can use `R=301` in above with `L` too here, let me know. – RavinderSingh13 Jan 20 '21 at 12:15

You may try these rules in your site root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/es/promo/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)(?:\.html?|/?)$ /es/promo/$1.html [L,NC,R=301]
