Hi Azhar,
I have understood your requirement, You can use these snippets of codes below-
Codes for BookingLink__c Object-

  <apex:outputField value="{!mybookingLink .LongTextAreaFieldName__c }"      label="Text Area"/>



Apex Class -------------


public class checkLongArea {
    
    public String BookingLinkId {get;set;}
    public BookingLink__c mybookingLink {get;set;}


    public checkLongArea(ApexPages.StandardController cont){
    BookingLinkId = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('id');
    mybookingLink = [SELECT id , LongTextAreaFieldName__c FROM BookingLink__c WHERE id =: BookingLinkId ];
    system.debug('##' + mybookingLink );
    

}

}



I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
